Impact Bigas has started all four of Elche's La Liga matches since the start of April, but he could be set for a spell on the sidelines and is almost certain to miss Wednesday's clash against Celta Vigo after picking up this injury on Sunday. With Helibelton Palacios (thigh) and Jose Angel Carmona (hamstring) out as well, Gonzalo Verdu, Omar Mascarell, Enzo Roco, Lisandro Magallan and Diego Gonzalez are all options to start in central defense.

Fills stat sheet against Barcelona Bigas had four shots (one on target), made three tackles (all won), three clearances, three interceptions and one block and drew three fouls during Saturday's 4-0 loss against Barc...
Impact Bigas was part of a defensive line that saw the opposition scoring four times but at least made up for that for fantasy purposes, putting up some strong defensive numbers while even leading his side in shots attempted as he was a big threat on aerial plays. Since the end of January, the center back isn't a regular starter but he'll hope this productive outing helps him on the fight for recovering his spot in the lineup.

Out Monday Bigas (thigh) will miss Monday's match against Rayo Vallecano, according to Monserrate Hernandez of AS.
Impact Bigas stayed in Elche instead of traveling to Madrid for this contest and he'll need more time to recover. Depending on the formation, John, Diego Gonzalez and Enzo Roco are likely to be the top center-back options for this contest. Until Monday, Bigas had started in all six of his appearances.
OCTOBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Remains in doubt Bigas (hamstring) is considered a doubt to play in Monday's match against Rayo Vallecano, according to Elche Directo.

Out due to injury Bigas has missed both training sessions as of Tuesday, according to Monserrate Hernandez of AS.
Impact Bigas is reportedly dealing with a hamstring injury that could make his status a close call for the Oct. 3 trip to Rayo Vallecano. The only defender to start every match to open the season, Diego Gonzalez could take his place in the lineup if needed.

Leaves early in loss Bigas made six clearances and completed two interceptions but was replaced due to a potential injury after 77 minutes of Sunday's 3-0 loss to Barcelona.
Impact Bigas has started in all six matches to open the season but that's not saying much for a team that's conceded the most goals in the league so far. Should he miss any matches, Diego Gonzalez could take the place of Bigas in the lineup.

Scores in win Bigas scored a goal off his lone shot, made six clearances and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 3-0 win over Mallorca.
Impact Bigas was back in the starting XI and made most of the opportunity with a great defensive performance and even his first goal of the season. In the 58th minute, the centre back rose higher than anyone to head home a free-kick cross from the left and double his side's lead. This goal and the ability of putting up really nice numbers every time he starts can make Bigas remain in the lineup for Tuesday's visit to Betis.

Available again Bigas (muscular) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Granada.
Impact Bigas is back in the side after missing last weekend's match with a muscular issue. He's struggled with injuries this season, which is likely the main reason he's not starting Saturday.

Returns to starting XI Bigas (knock) is in the starting XI for Friday's clash with Levante.
Impact Bigas is in the starting XI, as expected after training fully despite picking up a knock against Rayo. The defender is a surprise addition straight to the starting XI, but is evidently entirely fit. Bigas has little fantasy value as a central defender.
FEBRUARY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Picks up knock in win Bigas suffered a knock late into Friday's 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano, according to Monserrate Hernandez of AS.
Impact Bigas only went off in stoppage time so his injury may be more related to fatigue than a serious strain. Still, Diego Gonzalez replaced him on the pitch and there could be changes to the lineup for Friday's trip to Levante.
FEBRUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Late scratch against Espanyol Bigas was replaced in Elche's starting lineup by Gonzalo Verdu right before Monday's match against Espanyol due to discomfort.
