David Lopez - Not close to returning Lopez (hamstring) remains out for multiple weeks, according to manager Michel Sanchez.
Impact Lopez won't be back for a Jan. 14 clash with Almeria, meaning his absolute soonest chance is Jan. 21 against Sevilla. Even that seems more unlikely for Lopez. While the defender remains sidelined Juanpe should continue to see some more chances in the starting XI.

Borja Garcia - Still out Garcia (foot) is out for Wednesday's clash with Atleti, according to manager Michel Sanchez.
Impact Garcia is targeting a return in the Copa del Rey but if he is unable to do so then he is trending towards playing in a Jan. 14 trip to Almeria. Getting Garcia back would be a significant boon to the first team as he has yet to make his debut in 2023/24 and could provide another edge to the unlikely title challenge.

The winger would be a major piece of the starting XI to bring back for a huge match against Atleti. Still if he's not fit Tsygankov's next chance to return would be a Jan. 14 trip to Almeria.

Impact Lopez was forced off with an apparent injury in the match against Real Betis on Dec. 21, and the worst fears of Girona have now been confirmed. Lopez has been a regular for Girona this season after making 15 starts, and his absence means Juanpe will be in line for more minutes while Lopez is out.

Impact Herrera is making his first appearance on the training pitch since going down with a hamstring issue against Valencia, only individually training on grass as he continues his recovery. The midfielder will hope for a return within the club's next couple of matches, as he is scheduled for a return on Jan. 14 against Almeria. Once he is an option again, he should return to the starting XI, as he only missed out on that position once before encountering his injury.
