Costly own goal Saenz recorded an own goal, two tackles (one won), 11 clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Barcelona.

Impact Saenz' own goal cost Leganes a chance at the clean sheet, recording the only goal on the day. This was his first start since March 8, having been an unused sub the last three games, appearing in a total of 16 La Liga appearances, 12 of them coming as starts.

Available as substitute Saenz (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Atletico Madrid.

Returning from suspension Saenz completed his one-game suspension and will be available to face Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

Impact Saenz was given a one-match ban for a harsh foul during the 5-2 loss to Villarreal before the end-of-year break, and the veteran center-back is expected to return to action this weekend. Saenz has started in nine of his 10 appearances this season, and with two of those coming over his last two outings, he could very well return to the side for this matchup.

Returns in bench role Saenz (strain) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Sevilla.

Out Wednesday Saenz is out for Wednesday's Copa del Rey match against Lucena, according to manager Borja Jimenez.

Impact Saenz is missing out Wednesday, with the defender going down with an undisclosed injury. This leaves him in question for Saturday's match against Girona. If he were to miss more time, this would force a change, with Sergio Gonzalez and Matija Nastasic likely to serve in the center of the defense if this is the case.

Scores against Getafe Saenz scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Getafe.

Impact Saenz opened the scoring in the 76th minute, heading in from a well-delivered set piece by Roberto Lopez. Saenz also created a chance and had a strong defensive performance with 10 clearances, five tackles, and two interceptions, though he conceded a clumsy penalty in the 82nd minute. He has started all five games this season, and this was his first goal involvement.
