GETAFE NEWS

Marc Cucurella - Out Monday Cucurella was left out of the squad list for Monday's match against Getafe.

Impact Cucurella is expected to transfer to Brighton after the Seagulls paid his release clause Monday morning, so there shouldn't be any reason to suspect an injury or other causes for his absence just yet. In his absence, Carles Alena and Vitolo will try to play more creative roles on the wings.

Allan Nyom - Back on bench Nyom (knock) is on the bench for Monday's match against Sevilla.

Impact Nyom is back in the team Monday after missing the opener with a minor knock. He'll hope to reprise his role for Getafe where he's started 59 matches the last two seasons, but that may be hard to do with Vitolo now another option to compete for playing time on the wing.

Impact Cabaco effectively played where Timor would probably start, though they've now traded played on the suspension list heading into the next match against Sevilla. Should Getafe continue to play with three center-backs, Cabaco will still get plenty of chances to play.

Carles Alena - Plays first half in loss Alena provided two inaccurate crosses during the first half of Friday's 1-0 loss to Valencia.

Impact Alena didn't look to bright in his first start since making the permanent move to Getafe, though the lineup wasn't fully built to the best of the creative strengths available. As a result, new management and new players will mean Alena needs a little longer before serious judgment can be made on his value. Tough matches against Sevilla and Barcelona don't offer a simple task over Alena's next two games.

Sandro Ramirez - Takes one shot in loss Ramirez put one shot off target and created one chance from three crosses (one accurate) in 67 minutes of Friday's 1-0 loss to Valencia.

Impact Ramirez was given the start in his first game for Getafe and looked solid in support of Enes Unal. Despite this, there are a few different attacking options for this team and Ramirez will need to play better beginning with Monday's match against Sevilla.

Enes Unal - Takes three shots in loss Unal put three shots off target in 68 minutes of Friday's 1-0 loss to Valencia.

Impact Unal looked solid, but didn't nearly get enough support to take advantage of an opponent that played with 10 men for 87 minutes of the game. Life won't get any easier against Sevilla, which had one of the best defenses in La Liga last season and retained much of their core heading into the present campaign.

Allan Nyom - Not in squad list Nyom will miss Friday's match against Valencia due to a knock, according to El Desmarque.

Impact Nyom is the only senior player with a regular spot in the rotation to miss this game due to injury, as most of the roster was declared available for this game. While filling the absence of Nyom isn't as easy to predict given his versatility, Damian Suarez has a good chance of starting at right-back and so does Mathias Olivera on the left.

Impact Cucurella has held down the left-back spot throughout the Olympics and added a few more crosses to make his efforts that much more valuable. Heading into the gold medal match against Brazil, Cucurella could be a key figure if he's given more freedom on the wing.

Sandro Ramirez - Joins Getafe on loan Ramirez joined Getafe on a season-long loan from Huesca on Monday.

Impact Ramirez scored five goals in 20 appearances last season and fits the model of his new club's strikers, which haven't racked up massive scoring numbers in recent seasons. He'll add a fourth option for Los Azulones, which also acquired Jose Juan Macias on loan to make up for the departure of Angel Rodriguez.

Impact Alena finally found his landing spot after struggling to break into Barcelona's first team or in a different loan stint at Real Betis. With two goals and two assists from 30 shots taken 60 crosses provided, Alena will now have a full season to prove what he can bring to a mostly defensive team. Along with Vitolo, Alena's importance may rise further if Marc Cucurella leaves before the next season begins.

Marc Cucurella - Busy in win Cucurella made four tackles and logged three crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 1-0 win over Australia.

Impact Cucurella was slotted at left-back instead of on the wing and put in a hard-working shift to help his team secure the victory. So long as Spain are expected to dominate their opponents in possession, Cucurella could be an asset as a two-way player if he remains in this position for another game.

Jose Macias - Joins Getafe on loan Macias signed with Getafe from Chivas Guadalajara on loan with an option to buy, it was announced Monday.

Impact Macias has scored double digit goals in each calendar year since 2018 and that earned him a step up to the Spanish first division. At a club that often ranks among the lowest scoring sides in La Liga, Macias will help fill the roster spot recently vacated by Angel Rodriguez but may not provide much fantasy upside without getting into form and consistently starting.

Victor Perez - Joins Getafe Vitolo signed with Getafe from Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

Impact Vitolo only made 10 league appearances last season but is sure to find more frequent chances at his next stop. It will be interesting to see how he fits in, as Marc Cucurella has been a consistent starter on the left wing in recent campaigns.
