Viktor Tsygankov - Injures hamstring, out five weeks Tsygankov is out for the next five weeks after suffering a hamstring injury, according to his club.

Impact Tsygankov is set to miss a decent portion of time, as he is out for at least five weeks due to a hamstring issue he picked up in Wednesday's match against Feyenoord. This is a brutal loss for the club, as he has started in all but two matches this season and is one of their most crucial players. Arnaut Danjuma will be his likely replacement moving forward, with Tsygankov eyeing a return near mid-November.

Bojan Miovski - Misses penalty in defeat Miovski had three shots (three on goal) in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat to Feyenoord.

Impact Miovski attempted a game-high three shots on goal but wasted his side's best chance from the penalty spot in the second half of the midweek clash. The striker was replaced by Cristhian Stuani after 75 minutes on the field. That was a rare opportunity for Miovski, who has more often been a backup option behind Abel Ruiz since joining Girona for the 2024/25 season and has yet to score or assist in four matches played.

Arnaut Danjuma - Assists off bench in loss Danjuma assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and seven corners in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat to Feyenoord. In addition, he was given a yellow...

Impact Danjuma took the injured Viktor Tsygankov's place in the 29th minute and produced in the 73rd through a fast play that led to Donny van de Beek's equalizer. The former Villarreal man was involved in a goal for the first time in his last eight official appearances. He has been in and out of the starting lineup but may find more consistency if Tsygankov is ruled out for future matchups, offering a potent alternative either on the wing or in the center.

Donny Van De Beek - Scores against Feyenoord Van de Beek scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat against Feyenoord. In addition, he was gi...

Impact Van de Beek made the score sheet with a right-footed finish from inside the box in the 73rd minute of Wednesday's loss. Other than that, the midfielder won one of two tackles and three of eight duels in his sixth appearance of the season (second start). He has now scored and assisted once from four shots and three chances created in all competitions. While he has only featured as a substitute in league activity, he could be close to playing a more important role due to Oriol Romeu's (hamstring) injury.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Yangel Herrera - Records own goal in UCL loss Herrera had an own goal and one shot (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 3-2 loss against Feyenoord. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the fourth minute.

Impact Herrera was very unfortunate as he scored an own goal while defending an indirect free kick, and he also received a yellow card early in the match. He operated in defensive midfield after being used in an unusual No. 10 role during the previous league game against Celta. Regardless of position, the central man should be given more opportunities to get back on track, looking to reproduce or improve his 88 percent passing and 55 percent individual duel effectiveness.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

David Lopez - Scores opener in defeat Lopez scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-2 loss versus Feyenoord. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 45th minute.

Impact Lopez found the ball in front of the opposition goal after a set piece and gave his team the lead during the 19th minute of the game. Despite the early highlight, he was part of a back line that conceded three goals, and he contributed to a pair of those with key passing and marking errors. He returned to the starting lineup at the expense of Daley Blind (calf), who is still out for a few more weeks. Therefore, Lopez may now stay active and fairly reliable for passes and defensive numbers.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Ladislav Krejci - Scores own goal in loss Krejci generated an own goal, one tackle (one won) and one clearance in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat versus Feyenoord.

Impact Krejci made a negative impact by deflecting the ball into his own net for the decisive goal in the 79th minute of the continental clash. It was his fourth start of the season and second in a row considering both LaLiga and Champions League action. While the own goal and an overall poor performance could put pressure on him, he remains a solid source of passes and clearances from his center-back spot.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Paulo Gazzaniga - Concedes three goals to Feyenoord Gazzaniga had one save and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Feyenoord.

Impact Gazzaniga had a tough game along with the home side's disorganized defense, but it wasn't all bad as he saved Ayase Ueda's penalty kick in the first half. The goalkeeper has struggled to keep opponents from scoring lately, earning only one clean sheet in his last six appearances across all competitions. He'll face another difficult test Sunday in league play versus Athletic Club's fifth-ranked offense.

Viktor Tsygankov - Forced off early Tsygankov was forced off during the first half of Wednesday's clash with Feyenoord.

Impact Tsygankov made it just 29 minutes before Arnaut Danjuma was brought on to replace him. The midfielder is a brutal loss if the injury proves to be serious, as he is one of the key focal points of the attack. Tsygankov has one chance to return before the international break, a Sunday clash with Athletic Club.

Viktor Tsygankov - Even more accuracy Tsygankov recorded two shots (one on goal), six crosses (four accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo.

Impact After beginning September with only one accurate crosses in eight attempts and zero shots on goal, Tsygankov significantly improved his accuracy for the month's tail-end. Across his last appearances in September, he logged at least one shot on goal and one accurate cross. Sunday marked Tsygankov's season high in accurate crosses as well.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Yangel Herrera - Pushed to attacker and scores Herrera scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Celta Vigo.

Impact Girona's usual 4-4-2 formation was replaced with the team's secondary 4-2-3-1 formation Sunday. For the first time this season, Sunday marked Herrera's first start under the 4-2-3-1, in which he served as an attacking midfielder instead of a regular central midfielder. Herrera made the change work, scoring his first goal of the 2024-25 La Liga.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Paulo Gazzaniga - Saves only one of two shots Gazzaniga had one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Celta Vigo.

Impact It took the game's second-half substitutes for Girona to log multiple shots on goal. Tasos Douvikas' shot was stopped, but Iago Aspas got on the scoresheet. Gazzaniga will try to get back on track in Champions League action Wednesday against Feyenoord.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Daley Blind - Picks up calf injury Blind is set to miss the next four weeks due to a calf injury, according to Afcion Deportiva.

Impact Blind only made it 54 minutes before being forced off the field Saturday, with further scans revealing calf issues that will leave him out for around a month. He has only missed one start this season, so this will cause change, with Ladislav Krejci likely taking his spot. Expect to see Blind back out on the field around the end of October, that is if he has no setbacks.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Oriol Romeu - Set for extended absence Romeu is set to miss the next eight weeks of action after suffering an injury to his hamstring, according to Aficion Deportiva.

Impact Romeu went off injured in the club's last match, with scans revealing a much worse injury than thought, as he will now sit out for around the next month to two months. He has started in six of his seven appearances since joining the club, so this will force a change, with Donny Van de Beek and Jhon Solis likely seeing more time with Romeu out. He will look for a return near the end of November, looking to face no setbacks.

Yangel Herrera - Serviceable two-way play in start Herrera had two chances created, three tackles won and three interceptions in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Rayo Vallecano. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 83rd minute...

Impact The start marks Herrera's first since he recovered from a thigh injury that took him out of action for two games. He marked the occasion by creating multiple chances, doubling them from two to four this season. Defensively, Wednesday marked his third appearance of the season with multiple tackles won and interceptions, of which he has nine and eight respectively.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Viktor Tsygankov - Finally some solid accuracy Tsygankov recorded two shots (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Despite being a regular fixture in Girona's starting XI during September, Tsygankov had a tough time with accuracy, getting only one accurate cross and zero shots across his three other games in September. But on Wednesday, the midfielder finally got a shot on goal and multiple crosses accurate, something he had not since his one-goal, one-assist effort on Aug. 29.
