Domingos Duarte - Seeking specialist opinion Duarte (thigh) is seeking a specialist opinion for his recovery, according to Jose Ignacio Cejudo of IDEAL.

Impact Duarte is seeking the opinion of a rugby specialist as he continues his recover from a thigh injury. There still isn't a timeline for Duarte's return, and until he returns to training it's tough to speculate when he could even be eligible to return. Victor Diaz will continue to start in his place.

Luis Milla - Long-term injury confirmed Milla (knee) has re-injured his knee and will be out indefinitely, though it's not expected to be season-ending, according to MARCA Granada.

Impact Milla will be out long-term, and it appears that he has re-injured his knee. It's unlikely that he will be back in 2021, but the knee injury isn't expected to be season-ending. Maxime Gonalons should have a guaranteed starting spot with Milla sidelined.

Luis Maximiano - Keeps clean sheet in win Maximiano kept a clean sheet with three saves made during Monday's 3-0 win over Levante.

Impact Maximiano is doing what Rui Silva earned plaudits for before his move to Betis by racking up saves and solid results as he's kept two clean sheets and gone undefeated in his last four starts. This should make him a solid option to consider against Espanyol, which have forced the seventh-most saves in La Liga.

Antonio Puertas - Finds net off bench Puertas scored one goal on his only shot during 26 minutes of Monday's 3-0 win over Levante.

Impact Puertas has come off the bench in four of his last five appearances but looked good when scoring the final goal of the contest. Given his lack of minutes, his value remains on the lower end, so it's not worth taking too much from his performance Monday if considering Puertas for selection.

Luis Suarez - Scores in win Suarez scored one goal from three shots (two on goal) and created two chances in 64 minutes of Monday's 3-0 win over Levante.

Impact Suarez got back on track after a bad penalty miss in his previous game against Getafe by scoring the second goal of the contest. This keeps him top of his team's goalscoring chart, though he'll need to find the net more frequently to pass Ruben Rochina in base value. Up next is a trip to Espanyol, which are tied for the fourth-most goals conceded to forwards in La Liga.

Ruben Rochina - Continues resurgence in win Rochina provided one assist from two chances created on two crosses (both accurate) and took three shots (one on goal) during Monday's 3-0 win over Levante.

Impact Rochina kept up his solid form against his former club as he logged a fourth consecutive full 90 for the first time in multiple years. With one goal from 11 shots and one assist from five chances created in that span in addition to two assists in September, Rochina has become a rare reliable asset for his club's attacking unit. Up next is a trip to Espanyol, which are tied for the second-most crosses conceded to midfielders in La Liga.

German Sanchez - Scores in win Sanchez scored one goal on his only shot and kept a clean sheet during Monday's 3-0 win over Levante.

Impact Sanchez also conceded his fourth yellow card of the season in his first start over the last four matches. Now that he's finally kept a clean sheet and has already scored twice, Sanchez could be on the rise if he can avoid his fifth booking and a suspension for card accumulation. Up next is a trip to Espanyol, which have scored 12 goals in 12 matches this season.

Luis Milla - First exams negative Milla (leg) had his first exams come back negative for a serious injury, according to IDEAL.

Impact Milla suffered an injury last time out, but his first exams have come back negative giving him a chance to play as soon as Saturday against Espanyol. It's worth keeping an eye on Milla, but the first signs are encouraging.

NOVEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Yan Eteki - Out against Levante Eteki (hamstring) is out for Monday's clash with Levante, after failing to make the preliminary squad.

Impact Eteki is unavailable Monday, meaning that he will miss another match after coming off injured against Barcelona. The midfielder will likely be replaced once again by Angel Montoro. Eteki's final chance to return before the international break is Saturday, away to Espanyol.

MATCHDAY: Benitez hoping to end Everton slump in EPL

Rafa Benitez needs a swift response from his Everton players against Wolverhampton after three losses from their last five Premier League matches

OCTOBER 31, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Luis Maximiano - Concedes one at home Maximiano conceded one goal and made three saves during Thursday's 1-1 draw with Getafe.

Impact Maximiano has done well to concede just two goals and make 10 saves over his last three starts, of which two have ended in draws and one in victory. Should this positive run turn more draws into wins over the coming weeks, Maximiano's value could rise even higher on a team that doesn't have the greatest defensive record so far with 14 goals conceded in 10 games. Up next is a trip to Levante, which are tied for the fourth-fewest shots on goal in La Liga.

OCTOBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ruben Rochina - Solid in draw Rochina put three shots off target and created one chance from five crosses (one accurate) in addition to winning three-of-four tackles during Thursday's 1-1 draw with Getafe.

Impact The arrival of Rochina has certainly made a difference to his club's attacking efforts as he provides another level of risk taking that others haven't showed as frequently. With a fair amount of set pieces and tackles made as well, Rochina is proving to have a fair scoring floor as well. Up next is a trip to former club Levante, which hold the worst defensive record in La Liga.

OCTOBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Milla - Sets up another goal Milla provided one assist from two chances created on six crosses (two accurate) and put two shots off target during Thursday's 1-1 draw with Granada.

Impact Milla now has two assists in two matches from five total chances created. Even while his team has made a mess of most attacking chances this season, he's starting to find his own form and it's helping everything move more smoothly. Up next for Milla is a trip to Levante, which have conceded the most goals in the league.

Jorge Molina - Sinks former club Molina scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) during Thursday's 1-1 draw with Getafe.

Impact Molina entered as a substitute and prevented his former club from winning their first match of the season with an impressive flicked header past the goalkeeper. As one of the oldest players on his team and in the league, Molina's value will seldom rise beyond that of a role player unless he starts scoring each time he plays.

OCTOBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Suarez - Skies penalty in draw Suarez took four shots (one on goal), created three chances and missed a penalty during Thursday's 1-1 draw with Getafe.

Impact Suarez managed to miss his penalty attempt in the worst way possible as he caught the turf of the 12-yard spot and sent his attempt far over the crossbar. While more proactive in this game, he's still lacked a measure of efficiency in front of goal, though he remains his team's leading scorer. He'll have to do better in the next match at Levante, which still hold the worst defensive record in La Liga.

Maxime Gonalons - Sidelined for month Gonalons (hamstring) will be sidelined for at least a month, according to Jose Ignacio Cejudo of Ideal.es.

Impact Gonalons will be out of the starting XI for at least a month with a hamstring injury suffered Friday. The midfielder will hope to return sooner but with a rather serious hamstring issue the month timeline could already be generous. Monchu will likely fill in for Gonalons in the starting XI.

Luis Maximiano - Concedes one in draw Maximiano conceded one goal and made four saves during Friday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.

Impact Maximiano has conceded just one goal in his last three appearances, which ended with one loss, one draw and one win. Though an inconsistent defense is sure to keep Maximiano busy even against lesser opponents, his current form is a definite improvement from the beginning of the season. Up next is a visit from Getafe, which have scored the fewest goals in La Liga.

OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Angel Montoro - Scores off bench in draw Montoro scored one goal on his only shot in seven minutes off the bench during Friday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.

Impact Montoro has bounced in and out of the lineup but made a major impact by scoring a late equalizer with some help from Luis Milla. Given how inconsistent his minutes are with just two starts in the last five games, Montoro may not be worth relying on just yet.

OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Monchu Rodríguez - Plays 52 minutes in draw Monchu logged 52 minutes as a substitute during Friday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.

Impact Monchu had to come in for Maxime Gonalons, who picked up an injury in the first half. While not ideal for the team, this injury will likely give Monchu another chance to rack up some starts beginning with Thursday's visit from Getafe.

OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Milla - Logs assist in draw Milla provided one assist from three chances created during Friday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.

Impact Milla is steadily increasing his role in the attack with seven crosses and three corners taken over the last three matches in addition to his assist and chances created in Friday's game. With any luck, an easier run of games against Getafe and Levante will allow Milla to improve even more against some of the weaker defenses in the league.

OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Bacca - Concedes yellow card in draw Bacca conceded a yellow card and and put one shot off target in 71 minutes of Friday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.

Impact Bacca has put just one shot on target all season despite steadily increasing his role in the lineup with each passing week. Both he and Luis Javier Suarez have struggled to make a serious impact in the past few matches, so they'll need to take advantage of their next opponent in Getafe, which have conceded 13 goals in nine matches.
