Jasper Cillessen - Returns to starting XI Cillessen (knee) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Valencia.

Impact Cillessen is back with the team after suffering a knee sprain during training around three weeks ago, earning a spot in the starting XI. He should remain in this role now that he is fit, having yet to miss a start when an option this campaign.

Jasper Cillessen - Makes squad for Monday's match Cillessen (knee) is in the squad for Monday's match against Valencia.

Impact Cillessen finally left a worrisome knee injury behind him, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Dutchman starts right away in his return to action. Cillessen has given up 13 goals in seven appearances this season and has yet to keep a clean sheet.

Mika Marmol - Could return Monday Marmol (foot) is in the squad for Monday's match against Valencia.

Impact Marmol is set to return after missing Las Palmas' last three contests with a foot problem. The defender has started in his six appearances this term and could be in contention to return to the side right away now that he's available.

Scott McKenna - Makes squad for Monday's match McKenna (hamstring) is in the squad for Monday's match against Valencia.

Impact McKenna was on a good run of form and had recorded four starts in a row before getting injured. It's unclear if he'll return to the lineup right away, but his return to the squad should add some much-needed depth to Las Palmas' defensive line.

Sandro Ramirez - Not in squad to face Valencia Ramirez (strain) is not in the squad to face Valencia on Monday.

Impact Ramirez has yet to recover from a strain and it set to miss a third consecutive match, as he was unable to feature against Villarreal and Celta Vigo as well. The striker has three goals and an assist across seven appearances (five starts) this season, so there's no question Las Palmas miss his contributions in the final third. Expect Adnan Januzaj to remain in the XI, while Sandro will aim to recover in time for the match against Girona on Saturday.

Alberto Moleiro - Takes seven shots in loss Moleiro had seven shots (one on target), created two chances and drew three fouls during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Celta Vigo.

Impact Moleiro played better than he did on the previous match as he paced all players in shots attempted. However, the attacker was mostly inaccurate in front of the net as his team saw the opposition getting the win despite being dominated and playing with two men down for more than 30 minutes. With three goals over nine appearances this season, Moleiro has already matched his scoring output from last year.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Adnan Januzaj - Gets busy in loss Januzaj had three off-target shots, created four chances and sent in 17 crosses (seven accurate) during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Celta Vigo.

Impact Januzaj was Las Palmas biggest source of playmaking here and his 17 crosses almost doubled his output from the previous two seasons combined. However, this wasn't enough for his team to get the final product even if they played against an opposition down two men for more than 30 minutes. Given the way he played here, the winger should remain in the lineup after the international break even if the injured players get back.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Dinko Horkas - Concedes one in loss Horkas made zero saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Celta Vigo.

Impact Horkas wasn't at fault for the goal scored by the opposition as Borja Iglesias appeared unmarked in front of him to head home a cross from the right, but the fact that he couldn't make any save during the entire contest did a lot of harm to his fantasy output. That's now four saves and four goals allowed over two starts for the goalkeeper, who should be back to the bench once Jasper Cillessen (knee) becomes available again.

Sandro Ramirez - Did not play Monday Ramirez (strain) was not an option during Monday's 3-1 loss to Villarreal with muscle discomfort, reports Javier Marrero of UD Las Palmas.net.

Impact Ramirez' injury forced him to miss his first match of the season Monday with a muscle injury. He's opened up the campaign with three goals and five assists in seven appearances. Adnan Januzaj has gotten the start in his absence and could see another start if the winger is still not fit.

Adnan Januzaj - Assists on lone goal Januzaj assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Monday's 3-1 defeat against Villarreal. In addition, he was given a yellow...

Impact Januzaj picked up his first start in three appearances on the season and made the most of the opportunity by providing a through ball to Fabio Silva, who buried a goal from the center of the box in the 47th minute of play. Januzaj also set season highs with two chances created and 32 completed passes in the match, but he has yet to play a full 90 minutes in a game this year.

Fabio Silva - Nets first of the season Silva scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Monday's 3-1 loss versus Villarreal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 52nd minute.

Impact Silva picked up his third consecutive start in what marked his fourth appearance with La Palmas. He netted his squad's only goal of the match and his first of the campaign as he fired a shot from the center of the box, assisted by Adnan Januzaj in the 47th minute of play. Additionally, Silva has maintained a streak of registering at least one shot on target in each game played this season.

Dinko Horkas - Concedes three in defeat Horkas had four saves and allowed three goals in Monday's 3-1 defeat against Villarreal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 50th minute.

Impact Despite conceding three goals in what marked his first appearance for Las Palmas, Horkas provided some positivity by making four saves in the match, including one save on a penalty kick. He did a good job closing the door through most of the first half, before conceding his first of the match just before halftime. He also held strong through most of the second half, before conceding two goals after the 83rd minute. Up next for Las Palmas is a meeting with Celta Vigo on Saturday.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Jasper Cillessen - Sprains knee Cillessen suffered a sprained knee during training and is set to sit out indefinitely.

Impact Cillessen already missed Monday's match against Villarreal and is in line of missing another match, depending on how quickly the goalkeeper can recover. He had previously started seven games, allowing 13 goals with 24 saves. In the meantime, Dinko Horkas will likely take over the start in the net until he returns.

Impact Moleiro beat his man at the back post Thursday to slot home the Las Palmas goal as they drew 1 - 1 with Real Betis. The goal marked his second consecutive match with a goal and his third of the campaign over seven appearances (six starts). Impressively, the young midfielder has already matched his goal total from the previous campaign when he scored three goals over 27 appearances (21 starts) in La Liga for Las Palmas.

Jasper Cillessen - Four saves in draw Cillessen had four saves and allowed one goal in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus Betis. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 62nd minute.

Impact Cillessen kept his team in the match Thursday, making four saves on five shots on target as Las Palmas hung on to draw 1 - 1 with Real Betis. Through seven matches, Cillessen and Las Palmas have allowed 13 goals - the fourth worst defensive record in La Liga. Cillessen's next challenge is likely to come Monday when Las Palmas travel to play Villarreal who have scored just six goals over their last five matches.

Sandro Ramirez - Forced off early Ramirez was forced off in the first half of Thursday's match with an apparent injury.

Impact Ramirez was replaced by Oli McBurnie, though it could be Jaime Mata that steps into the starting XI next time out if Ramirez is ruled out. Ramirez has been in flying form and a consistent starter on the right wing, and should be a notable loss. If Ramirez's absence prompts a change in formation that could bring McBurnie into the starting XI against Villarreal.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Mika Marmol - Suffers foot fissure Marmol has been confirmed to have suffered a foot fissure in Saturday's match against Osasuna, according to his club.

Impact Marmol has finally undergone testing following his early exit Saturday, with testing showing the defender has a deep cut on his left foot. This will leave the defender out for a period of time, although he will likely only be out one or two weeks due to the minor issue. He has been a regular starter, so this will force a change, with Juan Herzog likely taking his spot until he is fit again.
