Lands on bench Juanmi (ankle) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Getafe.

Impact Juanmi is back with the team as expected, earning a spot on the bench. He will likely see time to test his legs Wednesday before getting back in the starting XI next match, as he did start in their opening two matches of the season.

Out to face Leganes Juanmi is out for Friday's match against Leganes due to an ankle injury, according to manager Manuel Pellegrini. He had a very strong blow to his ankle during yesterday's training...

Impact Juanmi will be heading to the sidelines, as the attacker picked up an ankle injury at training this week. It appears to be more of a cautionary absence, with the club wanting to ensure he doesn't further injure himself. That said, expect him to likely only miss one match and return next contest. He has started in two of the club's three matches this campaign, so this will force a change, with Johnny Cardoso or Chimy Avila being his likely replacement.

Sets up winning goal Juanmi assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Sevilla.

Impact Juanmi delivered his first assist of the season in heroic fashion, as he set up Sergi in the center of the box for the game-winning goal late in second half extra time. This also marked the first game that Juanmi registered a shot or a chance created since coming off the bench for the last three outings.

First start with new team Juanmi registered one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 loss versus Osasuna.

Impact Juanmi was selected to the starting lineup for the first time since arriving from Real Betis on loan. The start marked Juanmi's third successive appearance and the first occasion in which he's played the full 90 minutes. Juanmi is yet to make a monumental impact for Cadiz, having registered just one shot on goal in his three appearances. During the previous campaign with Real Betis, Juanmi contributed four goals and one assist in 25 appearances (12 starts) in all competitions.

Shoots twice off the bench Juanmi recorded two shots (one on goal) in Friday's 2-0 loss to Betis. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 52nd minute.

Impact Juanmi came on at halftime with his side down a goal and did little else beyond taking two shots during his time on the pitch. Cadiz have scored the fewest goals in La Liga this season with 15 and may look to Juanmi again as he settles in following his loan recall from Al-Riyadh during the January transfer window.

FEBRUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Makes team debut Juanmi recorded three passes in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Villarreal.

Impact Juanmi made his return to league after making his team debut with Cadiz. He will look to retain a bigger role with the team after only coming off the bench Sunday.

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to Spain Juanmi is returning to Spain as he has been sent on loan to Cadiz from Real Betis after spending the first half of the season with Saudi Pro League side Al-Riyadh.

Impact Juanmi did a fine job with Al-Riyadh early in the season, making 17 appearances in all competitions, recording a goal and two assists while averaging about 66 minutes per game. The midfielder will return to Spain as he is set to join Cadiz for the rest of the campaign, who are continuing their fight to stay in La Liga.

Won't face Atletico Madrid Juanmi (undisclosed) has not been included on the squad for Sunday's match against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Juanmi has been left out of the squad for the second game in a row, and all signs point to him leaving the team before the end of the transfer window in order to accommodate potential new signings and other players that have not been registered yet, such as Marc Bartra and Hector Bellerin. Juanmi's next chance to play will come against Athletic Bilbao on Aug. 27, but that seems very unlikely given his current position in the manager's pecking order.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in squad for season opener Juanmi (undisclosed) wasn't included on the matchday squad for Sunday's match at Villarreal.

Impact Juanmi missed a few training sessions earlier this week, and his inclusion in the squad was a long shot, but now it has been confirmed he won't feature in the season opener. His next chance to play will come Aug. 20 in the home opener against Atletico Madrid.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for season opener Juanmi is listed as doubtful for Sunday's season opener at Villarreal due to undisclosed reasons, Kiko Hurtado and Javier Carbonero of El Desmarque report.

Impact Juanmi has been linked with a move away from the club, with Saudi and Spanish teams keen on him, and as a result, the winger wasn't part of Friday's training session. His availability for Saturday's training session will be key to determining whether he can feature in the campaign opener or not.

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient in minor role Juanmi scored four times during 22 appearances (nine starts) during the 2022-23 La Liga season.

Impact Juanmi came into the season after scoring 16 times and assiting four times in 2021-22. The winger was handed a much less significant role in 2022-23, and was efficient in the more minor role. Juanmi isn't likely to return to being an elite option barring a more consistent role. Nabil Fekir (knee) is recovering from a serious injury but could be the starting option at left-wing when fit once more.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off bench in loss Juanmi came off the bench during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Barcelona.

Impact Juanmi was returned to the bench and was active for 15 minutes to close out the match. It was a one-sided rout throughout the match and Juanmi had little chance to do much in his time off the bench.

APRIL 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out with illness Juanmi has not been called up by Betis for Saturday's clash against Osasuna as he's dealing with a fever, Marca reports.

Impact Juanmi has started just four of Betis' 14 La Liga matches in 2023, scoring two goals in that span and ultimately failing thus far to return to the form he was enjoying last season before undergoing ankle surgery in September. He will not be available against Osasuna this weekend as he works through this illness.

APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots off bench in loss Juanmi had two shots (one on target) after coming off the bench during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Juanmi was brought in the 69th minute to replace Ayoze Perez and could still lead his side in shots attempted but the impact he made wasn't strong enough to give his side some momentum into the game. After scoring his two goals of the season during a three-game stretch back in February, Juanmi couldn't keep it up and ended up losing his starting spot again and, since Ayoze Perez's arrival on loan, playing time have been scarce for him, so the winger will hope this performance can help him earn some more significant playing time moving forward.

APRIL 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes one tackle as sub Juanmi generated one tackle (zero won) and one clearance in 21 minutes during Sunday's 1-0 win versus Mallorca.

Impact Juanmi subbed on in the second half and could not do much during his limited time in the field. He's looking to get his spot back after battling an ankle injury suffered in the beginning of the season. The midfielder started in six of his 14 appearances since then, logging two goals and one assist over that span.

MARCH 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores early goal Juanmi scored one goal to go with three shots (one on target) in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Valladolid.

Impact Juanmi wasted no time to get on the scoreboard with a goal in just the first two minutes of the match Saturday. He has missed over two months with an ankle injury and is working his way back into the starting XI. It does look like the Spaniard will be the number one choice for attacking left midfielder after three straight starts with two goals on five shots (two on target) in that span.

FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Creates three chances in win Juanmi created three chances and won one of one tackles in Saturday's 3-2 victory against Almeria.

Impact Juanmi wasn't able to get on the score sheet in Saturday's shootout win over Almeria, but he played the full 90 minutes for the first time since August as he continues his road back to full fitness after missing roughly three months with an ankle injury.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores goal in start Juanmi took two shots and scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 defeat against Celta Vigo. He also won three of three tackles in the match.

Impact Juanmi made his first La Liga start since early September on Saturday after missing roughly two months with an ankle injury, and he found the net against Celta Vigo for the first time since the season opener. He will want to maintain his spot on the left wing in the XI over Rodri now that he's healthy again.

Extends contract with Betis Juanmi has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract extension with Real Betis, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Juanmi had a breakout campaign with Betis last season, with 16 goals and four assists in 33 appearances (26 starts) on the left wing. The 29-year-old has only just returned to availability after tearing a few ankle ligaments in early September, and he'll want to break back into the XI once he's fully fit as he's now signed on with the club through 2025/26.

Returns against United Juanmi (ankle) played 29 minutes during Saturday's friendly matchup with Manchester United.

Impact Juanmi was named to the bench and came on for Luiz Henrique during the 61st minute of this exhibition match. Provided he gets a bit more training and potential friendly action under his belt, he should be ready to roll for the second half of the league season.

Making good progress Juanmi (ankle) expects to play in Saturday's friendly against Manchester United or Dec. 17 against Inter Milan, per El Desmarque.

Impact Juanmi could be back after missing the last three months, setting him up well to contribute as soon as the Dec. 29 league contest against Athletic Club. Once he gets back into rhythm, Juanmi is a capable goalscoring winger despite a long injury history.
