Impact Galan has conceded a foul in eight straight matches but has just two yellow cards to his name in that time and just three for the season.

Impact Mina has already scored a respectable seven times this season and has scored in every third start since Nov. 27. While relying on him consistently may not be the best idea, Mina has contributed all but one of his goals against sides in the bottom half of the table, with the other coming in a lopsided loss to Real Madrid. He'll now look ahead to a trip to Sevilla, which is without many of their top players due to various reasons.

He'll now face a trip to Sevilla, which remains a tough side but is still without many of their top players due to injury or AFCON.

Augusto Solari - On bench Wednesday Solari (foot) will be an option off the bench against Osasuna on Wednesday.

Impact Solari hasn't made an appearance for the club since Dec. 5 versus Valencia, a stretch for four matches on the shelf. Even with his return, the midfielder will be hard-pressed to secure regular starts, making him a low-end fantasy target at best.

Matias Dituro - Concedes one in loss Dituro conceded one goal and made two saves during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Dituro has only lost one result in his last four while conceding just two goals and making 12 saves in that time. This is important for a side that remains overly reliant on the attacking efforts of Iago Aspas, so try to take advantage while Dituro holds on to his form. Up next is a visit from Osasuna, which have scored 18 goals in their first 19 matches.

Denis Suarez - Logs three crosses in loss Suarez provided three inaccurate crosses in 81 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Suarez has struggled to play consistently all season and despite recently scoring once and assisting on another as a sub against Espanyol two matches ago, he departed early without a shot on target or an accurate cross. This should give him some motivation against Osasuna, which have conceded the third-most crosses to midfielders in La Liga.

JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Javi Galan - Logs six crosses in loss Galan logged six inaccurate crosses and made four interceptions during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Augusto Solari - Returns to training Solari (foot) has returned to training with Celta Vigo, but he wasn't called up for Saturday's clash against Real Sociedad.

Impact Solari is making progress with his recovery after suffering a foot injury in early December, but he's not quite fit enough to be able to play this weekend. Celta's following La Liga game against Osasuna on Jan. 19 is a more realistic target.
