Victor Camarasa - Suffers muscular injury Camarasa suffered a muscular injury during Saturday's friendly against Leeds but it shouldn't be too serious, according to Diario de Sevilla.

Impact Camarasa just returned from a torn ACL that kept him out of the entirety of last season and is having tough luck a couple weeks before the next campaign kicks off. If he's able to play, the opening contest will take place at Mallorca on Aug 14.

Diego Lainez - Provides assist in Olympics opener Lainez took one shot (off target), won four of five duels, created two scoring chances, drew one foul and delivered an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over France.

Impact Lainez assisted Alexis Vega's opening goal with a cross after dribbling past a couple of French players in the 47th minute of Thursday's victory. Lainez created two chances while tallying a team-high three successful dribbles throughout 72 minutes on the field. His exceptional talent is one of Mexico's major assets up front, so he'll be expected to play a role in the next clash against Japan, who kept a clean sheet in their opening game.

Victor Camarasa - In good shape Camarasa is reportedly at full fitness early in the preseason, according to El Desmarque.

Impact Camarasa missed all of last season with a torn ACL but is on track for the coming campaign if he stays fit through the summer. At his best, Camarasa is a serviceable midfielder with decent attacking value and the ability to take set pieces.

Andres Guardado - Picks up mid-summer injury Guardado suffered a grade II thigh strain and will miss between one month and six weeks, the FMF announced Tuesday.

Impact Guardado should have few problems getting fit by the time La Liga's season kicks off, though he won't be available for his national team during their summer obligations.

Rui Silva - Goes without impact at Euro Silva was an unused sub in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Belgium.

Impact Silva didn't have any impact here at the Euros but his late return will likely see him take a longer break and return to his club later than most which could have him have a slower beginning of the new campaign.

William Carvalho - Goes deep into win Carvalho won two-of-three tackles and provided two inaccurate crosses during 81 minutes of Tuesday's 3-0 win over Hungary.

Impact Carvalho put together a decent performance, but it was when Renato Sanches took his spot on the field that the Portuguese were able to break open the match. With experience or ability the tradeoff between Carvalho and Sanches, it will be worth following who starts in the next group stage matches against Germany and France.

Rui Silva - Move to Betis made official Silva signed with Real Betis on Friday. He's committed to a five-year contract with his new club.

Impact Silva, who went from the Spanish second division to the Europa League and Portuguese national team while with Granada, was expected to make this switch since January. For now, the 2020/21 season should be considered somewhat of an anomaly as Silva went from one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga to the second-worst by goals conceded, and he should get more support when backed up by a deeper roster with more money to spend. The only predicament will be competing with Joel Robles and Claudio Bravo for the starting job, though the length of Silva's contract and his still-climbing trajectory should hive him an early edge heading into next season.

Aitor Ruibal - Extends contract until 2025 Ruibal signed a contract extension with Real Betis that will keep him with the club until 2025.

Impact Ruibal showed flashes of brilliance with two goals and two assists in 28 appearances, but he evidently needs a little more time to play to his fullest potential. As a versatile winger who can play on both sides of the attack, Ruibal could be in for a big season as Betis enter the Europa League. If he sticks around long enough, Ruibal may be able to replace club legend Joaquin in a few seasons.

Youssouf Sabaly - Signs with Betis Sabaly signed a five-year contract with Real Betis after transferring from Bordeaux on Monday.

Impact Sabaly arrives after making 33 appearances for cash-strapped Bordeaux, where he kept 11 clean sheets and logged two assists this season. With Emerson already off to Barcelona, Sabaly is a perfect replacement on both ends of the pitch who can also play at left-back if needed. As Betis also plans for participation in the Europa League, Sabaly should get plenty of chances to show what he can do on a bigger stage.

Victor Ruiz - Extends contract by two seasons Ruiz signed a two-year contract extension with Real Betis that ties him to the club through 2023.

Impact Ruiz made 24 starts from 27 total appearances during his first season at Betis while playing an active role in their late-season push to return to Europe. His production wasn't anything impressive with 81 clearances and 44 interceptions made, but his goal in the season-ending win over Celta Vigo shows that he can make a difference on the pitch. As the team prepares for European competition, Ruiz should expect to be a starter but it's worth waiting to see if he can increase his productivity for fantasy.

Juan Miranda - Staying with Betis Miranda signed a three-year contract with Real Betis after his move from Barcelona was made permanent Tuesday.

Impact Miranda made 18 starts in 22 appearances this season and eventually took over the starting spot at left-back from Alex Moreno. The rumors around this deal suggest that Emerson is likely to move to Barca in the near future, so the Catalan club decided not to keep Miranda if someone else would pay him. In considering Miranda's fantasy value, he could do well to add a few more crosses to his game, but the quality present in his current club's attack should make him useful in fantasy on occasion even when he tends not to rack up major stats.

Joaquin - Signs contract extension Joaquin agreed to a one-year contract extension with Real Betis on Tuesday.

Impact The elderly Joaquin is one of the oldest players in the league and he earned a fresh contract after logging five assists and scoring twice in 27 appearances (16 starts) during this season. However, his long-standing loyalty to Betis likely helped him earn a fresh deal so that he could play out the end of his time at the club in front of crowds and stick around for a year or longer.

Cristian Tello - Sent off in win Tello was sent off after conceding two yellow cards during Saturday's 3-2 win over Celta Vigo.

Impact Tello will likely be suspended for the first match next season as punishment. Before that happened, Tello scored five goals and provided three assists in 29 appearances (12 starts). His chances of locking down a starting role may not be the highest, but the presence of Real Betis in Europe could open up more opportunities in the long run.

MAY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Claudio Bravo - Concedes two in finale Bravo conceded two goals and made two saves during Saturday's 3-2 win over Celta Vigo.

Impact Bravo took over the starting job for the final 11 matches of the season and conceded just nine goals. After looking like one of the worst defensive teams in La Liga all year, Bravo returned to the lineup and they finished with a 0 goal differential thanks to 50 goals scored and conceded. He may have first dibs at the job when the new season rolls around and Betis are in European competition.

Marc Bartra - Provides assist in win Bartra provided one assist from one chance created, won two of two tackles and made seven clearances during Saturday's 3-2 win over Celta Vigo.

Impact Bartra started the final four matches of the season alongside Victor Ruiz and did well to set up his counterpart for the game-winning goal. It took four months for Bartra to find his fitness after a long-term foot injury, and he conceded four goals in four matches when he made his regular return to the lineup. It remains to be seen how the team will shape up next season, as Aissa Mandi is another capable central defender who spent the final three games of the campaign on the bench.

MAY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Victor Ruiz - Scores winner in finale Ruiz scored one goal on his only shot and made seven clearances during Saturday's 3-2 win over Celta Vigo.

Impact Ruiz ended the campaign on a role with this winning effort and 33 clearances in the final six games. Overall, he started in 24 of his 27 appearances and kept seven clean sheets. Depending on how the roster shapes up over the offseason, Ruiz could be a key piece for Betis as they return to European competition.

Nabil Fekir - Scores in season finale Fekir scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) and created one chance from six crosses (two accurate) during Saturday's 3-2 win over Celta Vigo.

Impact Fekir ended the season with five goals and five assists while starting in all 33 of his appearances. He scored two less times than in the previous season but also provided one more assists and over 100 more crosses in the 2020/21 campaign. Between he, Sergio Canales and Borja Iglesias, there's plenty of attacking production to look for in this club next season.

MAY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Borja Iglesias - Scores another PK in win Iglesias scored one penalty goal from two total shots (one on goal) during 82 minutes of Saturday's 3-2 win over Celta Vigo.

Impact Iglesias finished the season on a role with four goals in the final four matches, a run that helped Betis qualify for European competition with a late-season push. With 11 goals in 28 appearances, Iglesias finally began to show off some of the potential that made him one of the most expensive signings for his club. As long as he can avoid any more injuries, Iglesias should have no problems starting regularly and scoring at least 10 times next season.

MAY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

William Carvalho - Available for season finale Carvalho made the squad list for Saturday's season finale at Celta Vigo.

Impact Carvalho may not even start but he's one more option for the midfield as Sergio Canales will miss out on the trip to Vigo. Heading into the final game of the season, Carvalho has started in 12 of his 26 league appearances.

Sergio Canales - Out against Celta Canales will miss Saturday's season finale against Celta Vigo with a tendon injury, manager Manuel Pellegrini told the media. "We were trying to give him a break in the past few w...

Impact Canales only scored one time in the final four months of the season, but with a chance to make Spain's team for this summer's Euro tournament, he'll take a much-needed break. In his place, Andres Guardado has a good chance to return to the starting lineup alongside Guido Rodriguez in the holding-midfield positions.

MAY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Montoya - May play in season finale Montoya (strain) returned to training in Tuesday's session ahead of Sunday's season finale at Celta Vigo, according to Diario de Sevilla.

Impact Montoya has only made two starts from five total appearances this season due to injuries and a low place on the depth chart. With a place in European competition still on the line heading into the final game, Montoya could have a key role to play or could be an option off the bench.

MAY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Marc Bartra - Makes six clearances in win Bartra made six clearances and one interception while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Sunday's 1-0 win over Huesca.

Impact Bartra made a great partnership with Victor Ruiz at the heart of the defense, always having advantage over opposing forwards to help Betis keep another clean sheet. The centre back started the last three matches, racking up 18 clearances and four interceptions during this stretch. He'll probably remain in the lineup for next Sunday's decisive away match against Celta.
