Spanish FA investigating Ancelotti's comments after Real drawThe Spanish FA are investigating Carlo Ancelotti’s post-match comments after Real Madrid’s draw with Girona. Ancelotti claimed after the 1-1...
Karim Benzema - Trains alone MondayBenzema (quadriceps) trained on his own during Monday's session ahead of Wednesday's match against Celtic.
ImpactBenzema is getting managed quite carefully, as he's already missed three matches and may not be risked for Wednesday's game either. Should that happen, Rodrygo should continue as the center-forward unless Eden Hazard is handed a start.

Aurelien Tchouameni - Trains separatelyTchouameni (strained) trained on his own during Monday's session ahead of Wednesday's match against Celtic.
ImpactTchouameni reportedly isn't injured but isn't likely to be risked when there's little need and plenty of other available options in midfield. Most recently, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga started in midfield during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Girona, the first of Tchouameni's absence.

Mariano Diaz - Makes cameo off benchMariano (strain) made a four-minute substitute appearance versus Girona on Sunday.
ImpactMariano has logged a combined 14 minutes off the bench this season, so his return to the squad is unlikely to impact the starting XI or fantasy players in general.
OCTOBER 31, 2022•ROTOWIRE
Oriol Romeu - Four tackles against MadridRomeu had four tackles (two won) and one clearance in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Real Madrid.
ImpactRomeu's four tackles were a team-high during a rather defensive battle. He played the full 90 and is averaging about three tackles, one clearance and one interception per match in La Liga competition.

Aleix Garcia - Quiet night for Madrid drawGarcia sent in four crosses (two accurate) and took one corner during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Real Madrid.
ImpactGarcia paced his side in crosses for the match and continues to be the focal point for Girona in the middle of the pitch. He's averaging nice volume with about seven crosses and three corners per match in league play, so continue rostering him with confidence in hopes that Sunday's performance was just an off night against an elite team.

Paulo Gazzaniga - Five stops for drawGazzaniga made five saves (one goal conceded) and one clearance during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Real Madrid.
ImpactThis is a great showing for the Girona keeper, who held the European champions off the score sheet for over 70 minutes before finally conceding the only Madrid goal of the match. Next up is Athletic at home Friday.
