Yeremi Pino - Starts in winPino created one chance during Monday's 2-0 win over Osasuna.

ImpactPino has started in seven-of-nine league matches but a paltry one goal scored and four chances created isn't much to show for in that time. So long as he has the preference of manager Unai Emery, Pino should continue to rack up minutes, as he's still a young player with plenty of promise. Should Pino ever move to the bench, Samuel Chukwueze and Giovani Lo Celso can start on the right wing as well.

Aissa Mandi - Starts in winMandi kept a clean sheet and made two interceptions during Monday's 2-0 win over Osasuna.

ImpactMandi was handed the start due to Kiko Femenia's absence through injury and helped his team keep a second clean sheet in their last three matches. Pending the status of Femenia and eventually Juan Foyth (knee), Mandi could see his minutes increase over the next couple of weeks.

Dani Parejo - Creates one chance in winParejo created one chance from five crosses and put one shot on target during Monday's 2-0 Osasuna.

ImpactParejo also took seven set pieces in Monday's game but created just one chance for a third straight game. As there's been a major lack of goals scored until Arnaut Danjuma found the net twice, Parejo's hard work will go unrewarded without an end product. If Danjuma can help the team return to scoring form while Gerard Moreno (hamstring) is out, then Parejo could see his production increase as well.

Francis Coquelin - Out due to minor tearCoquelin is dealing with a partially torn muscle, according to manager Unai Emery following Monday's 2-0 win over Osasuna.

ImpactCoquelin has missed one game so far due to his injury and it's unclear how long he will be out. After starting three games on the left flank, Coquelin has to take his first enforced break of the season, a habit he's unfortunately picked up over the years through various injuries. Alex Baena started on the left side during Monday's game and could continue in that spot Thursday against Barcelona unless Manu Trigueros is fit enough to play from kickoff.

Kiko Femenia - Dealing with discomfortFemenia missed Monday's 2-0 win over Osasuna and will be a game-time decision for Thursday's trip to Barcelona, according to manager Unai Emery.

ImpactFemenia had some doubts on his participation before the match but his absence made the situation a little more clear cut. After starting five straight games while Juan Foyth is absent due to a knee injury the absence of both Femenia and Foyth in any matches leaves Aissa Mandi as a backup option following his start in Monday's contest.
