Sergio Herrera - Concedes two in loss Herrera conceded two goals and made one save during Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Celta Vigo.

Impact Herrera just kept a clean sheet against Cadiz but with most of the starting defense out due to COVID-19, he and his teammates were beaten by two fine plays in the first half.

He'll have another tricky match against Granada, which are undefeated in their last seven league matches.

Jon Moncayola - Provides six crosses in loss Moncayola created one chance from six crosses during Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Celta Vigo.

Impact Moncayola had logged two assists from 25 crosses in the four matches before this one, but was unable to make the same impact against a side that was far more clinical in their attacking efforts. With most of the defense out due to COVID-19, Moncayola's role may suffer for the moment, but he's still shown plenty of signs that he can keep up the pace if more goals are scored. Up next is a trip to Granada.

Though he was unable to steer a shot on goal, Budimir's teammates held a sizable lead in crosses. so there's still plenty of chances that can fall his way. This should remain true in the next match at Granada, which have conceded the fifth-most crosses to midfielders in La Liga.
