Viktor Tsygankov - Will be available Saturday Tsygankov (undisclosed) will be available for Saturday's game against Alaves, manager Michel told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "He's a very important player fo...
Impact Tsygankov has been injured often this season, and he's been limited to just 10 appearances (nine starts) between the UEFA Champions League and LaLiga. Given the absence of Yaser Asprilla (ankle), it wouldn't be surprising if Tsygankov is moved straight into the starting lineup. Ivan Martin is also an option to start in the attacking midfield.

Portu - Won't be available Saturday Portu is out for Saturday's game against Alaves due to an ankle injury, manager Michel told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "Portu won't be ready to play tomorrow...
Impact Michel said that Portu has been recovering from an ankle injury, but Saturday's contest will come too soon for him. This means the winger's next chance to play will come against Sevilla on Saturday, Jan. 18.

Pau Lopez - Loan revoked Lopez has had his loan to Lens canceled and will return to Girona for the remainder of his loan before returning to Marseille at the end of January, according to Lens.
Impact Lopez has had his loan canceled due to strange circumstances, as Girona would like to keep him on his original loan until Jan. 29, his agreed loan date, which has been deemed unacceptable by Lens, leading to a renounced signature. So moving forward, the goalie remains a member of Girona until Jan. 29, at which time he will then return to his parent club, Marseille. The goalie will hope to still find a new loan club after his time is up with Girona and earn some playing time this campaign, as he is yet to see time with the Spanish club, making their decision to keep him questionable at best.

Oriol Romeu - Suspension over Romeu completed his one-game suspension and will be available to face Alaves on Jan. 11.
Impact Romeu has started in 13 of his 16 appearances between LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League, and he should return to the XI regardless of Girona's tactical setup. However, as a holding midfielder who rarely moves into attacking positions, he shouldn't have a lot of fantasy upside.

Girona piles on misery for lowly Valladolid with easy victory
Girona has beaten Valladolid 3-0 to snap an unhappy run of six games without a win in La LigaDECEMBER 20, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Arnaut Danjuma - Scores off bench Friday Danjuma scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 3-0 win versus Valladolid.
Impact Danjuma found the back of the net with a shot from inside the box following several rebounds. The speedy winger is a solid option off the bench for Girona, but he won't carry a lot of upside if he continues to have a secondary role while starting occasionally. Danjuma has started in eight of his 13 appearances, and this was his first goal of the campaign.
DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Abel Ruiz - Scores in win Friday Ruiz scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 3-0 win versus Valladolid. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 24th minute.
Impact Ruiz scored Girona's second goal of the match with a perfect header from close range, though, to be fair, he had some help from Karl Jakob Hein, who could've done a better job between the posts in that sequence. This was Ruiz's third goal of the season.
DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Gutierrez - Delivers two assists Gutierrez assisted twice to go with three shots (one on goal), 12 crosses (four accurate) and four corners in Friday's 3-0 victory over Valladolid. In addition, he was given a yell...
Impact Gutierrez was fortunate to be credited with an assist in the first goal, as he blasted a free kick from the edge of the box that bounced off David Lopez to break the deadlock. Meanwhile, his second assist was a perfect cross from the left flank that was nodded home by Abel Ruiz Ortega. Gutierrez has one goal, four assists, 97 crosses and 28 chances created in LaLiga this season, so he has plenty of attacking value even if he plays as a defender.
DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Paulo Gazzaniga - Cruises to earn clean sheet Gazzaniga recorded one save and secured a clean sheet in Friday's 3-0 victory versus Valladolid.
Impact Gazzaniga didn't have problems securing his first clean sheet in over a month, as the last time he accomplished this was in a 1-0 road win over Getafe on Nov. 10. The goalkeeper has allowed 25 goals in 18 starts this season.
DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
David Lopez - Breaks deadlock in win Friday Lopez scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Friday's 3-0 victory against Valladolid.
Impact Lopez broke the deadlock for Girona midway through the first half, though, to be fair, he was fortunate to find the back of the net since he deflected home a free kick from Miguel Gutierrez. Lopez isn't known for his attacking prowess, though, and he's expected to earn most of his value going forward through defensive stats.

Yangel Herrera - Makes bench Friday Herrera (calf) is on the bench for Friday's game against Valladolid.
Impact Herrera was deemed available for this match by manager Michel Sanchez on Thursday, and the Venezuelan playmaker will hope to see minutes off the bench. Girona are clearly being cautious with him to avoid any potential injury setbacks.
DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Yangel Herrera - Available for Friday Herrera (calf) is an option for Friday's match against Valladolid, according to manager Michel Sanchez. "Yangel has been training normally all week and will be available for tomorr...
Impact Herrera is back in the fold for Friday's match, with the midfielder returning to training this week. This is great news for the club, as he has missed the club's past six contests after being a regular starter to begin the year. That said, he hopes to see the start immediately Friday, although they may choose to be cautious and work him in off the bench.
DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Ladislav Krejci - Returning from ban Krejci completed his one-game suspension and will be available to face Valladolid on Friday.
Impact Krejci has established himself as a regular for Girona and has been part of the XI in all but one of his 15 appearances for the club between LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League. As such, he should return to the XI right away ahead of Friday's tilt against Valladolid.

Arnaut Danjuma - Creates two chances in loss Danjuma registered seven crosses (two accurate), two chances created and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Mallorca.
Impact Danjuma got the nod as a striker for the second straight game with Bojan Miovski sidelined due to an ankle sprain, but the Dutchman was mainly involved in creative duties during the game. It was Danjuma's 15th league appearance (11th start) of the season, and his averages increased to 2.6 crosses and 0.7 chances created per match. He should be reliable for those kinds of stats given that he takes a few corner kicks whenever he's on the field.
DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Bryan Gil - Struggles in defeat Gil registered two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Mallorca.
Impact Gil made a limited impact from the right flank, with his three fouls drawn barely making up for a quiet offensive display at Mallorca. The attacker was unable to boost his totals of two goals and three assists, which rank second and first on the team, respectively, during the current La Liga campaign. He'll likely have more opportunities to show his talent and revert his scoring drought in the immediate future.
DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Donny Van De Beek - Scores goal against Mallorca Van de Beek scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Mallorca.
Impact Van de Beek fired a loose ball into the back of the net from inside the box during the seventh minute of Saturday's loss. Other than that, he won two tackles and made one interception but committed three fouls before being replaced by Ivan Martin. The former Manchester United man seems to have found his place in Girona's midfield, where he has produced two goals and one assist across his last five starts.
DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Oriol Romeu - Receives fifth yellow card in loss Romeu earned a one-game ban after receiving his fifth yellow card of the campaign during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Mallorca.
Impact Romeu committed a game-high four fouls, so it was quite difficult for him to avoid the booking. He'll be ineligible to face Valladolid on Friday and could be back for a Jan. 11 trip to Alaves. Ivan Martin and, if fit, Yangel Herrera (calf) are options to cover Romeu's midfield spot in the suspension match.
DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Gutierrez - Attempts 12 crosses in loss Gutierrez recorded 12 crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Mallorca.
Impact Gutierrez generated a season-high 12 crosses in this match, and while none of those balls found a teammate directly, one led to Donny van de Beek's goal after being touched by an opposing player. The defender could hold significant attacking upside if he continues to be deployed in more offensive positions, either as a wing-back or central midfielder, in upcoming fixtures. Still, he's under pressure from an eight-game scoreless streak.
