Miguel Gutierrez - Forced off against Real Madrid Gutierrez had to be replaced by Javi Hernandez after 63 minutes of Sunday's match against Real Madrid following a heavy challenge.
Impact Gutierrez did his best to continue but had his day cut short against his former team. He'll hope not to be out for long with little time left before the World Cup.

Yan Couto - Departs early against Real Madrid Couto had to depart after 58 minutes of Sunday's match against Real Madrid due to a possible knee issue. Rodrigo Riquelme replaced him on the pitch.

Juanpe - Still in doubt Juanpe (foot) remains in doubt for Sunday's trip to Real Madrid, according to MARCA.
Impact Juanpe hasn't played in four straight games after starting seven consecutive times to open the season. If he remains unfit, David Lopez and Sergio Bueno should continue as the defensive partnership.
OCTOBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Paulo Gazzaniga - Concedes one in draw Gazzaniga conceded one goal and made one save during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.
Impact Gazzaniga made his first start since joining Girona on loan and didn't have much to do as only three shots were put on target combined. Unless he's done enough in training as well, Gazzaniga isn't likely to immediately win the starting job over Juan Carlos in goal.
OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Yangel Herrera - Logs assist in draw Herrera logged one assist from one chance created and made three tackles during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.
Impact Herrera helped David Lopez score an equalizing goal to give their team a second straight home draw. As Herrera has created three chances but conceded a yellow card on nine fouls in his last three games, he's not the most reliable option available.
OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
David Lopez - Scores in draw Lopez scored one goal from one shot and made six clearances during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.
Impact Lopez returned to the lineup after and Achilles injury knocked him out for the better part of six straight games. He's started in all five of his appearances and could be a top pick alongside Sergio Bueno over the likes of Juanpe and Bernardo Espinosa going forward.
OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Reinier - Comes off bench in draw Reinier logged 16 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Girona.
Impact Reinier came back after missing four consecutive matches due to injury. He had scored once in three starts before going down and will hope to return to the lineup when trusted again. That puts him in competition with Manu Vallejo as an attacking midfielder when trying to earn more minutes.
OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cristhian Stuani - Comes off bench in draw Stuani logged nine minutes off the bench during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.
Impact Stuani still may not be fully fit since returning from injury as he's started just once in his last four appearances despite scoring twice in that time. With Valentin Castellanos struggling to find the net, Stuani should be able to work his way into more consistent starts.
OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Valentin Castellanos - Takes one shot in draw Castellanos put one shot off target in 81 minutes of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.
Impact Castellanos hasn't scored in four straight games and found the net just once in his last nine starts. While still key to the success of his team, Castellanos will need to be careful that Christhian Stuani doesn't take his place back as the top striker after scoring twice in his last three appearances.
