Sergio Herrera - Out with muscular injury Herrera suffered a tear in his hamstring that caused him to miss Saturday's 2-0 loss to Sevilla, his club has confirmed.
Impact It's unclear how long Herrera will be out, though the timing isn't ideal after he conceded just two goals in his last four starts and couldn't participate in Saturday's game. Juan was given the first chance to take his place in goal, and could continue to receive minutes if Herrera remains unavailable for the coming weeks.

Juan Manuel Perez - Concedes two in loss Juan conceded two goals and made two saves during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Sevilla.
Impact Juan seldom gets onto the field but was given the chance to start due to Sergio Herrera's recent muscular injury. After getting taking down a couple of notches, it will be interesting to see if Juan remains in the lineup for Sunday's visit from Real Sociedad, which have scored the fourth-most goals in La Liga.

Jesus Areso - Starts in loss Areso conceded a yellow card while playing the full 90 during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Sevilla.
Impact Areso has started two times this season and spent all but one other game as an unused substitute. While his place in the team is certainly growing since his summer arrival from Athletic Club, there's still more work to be done as he grows into his professional career.
NOVEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ruben Garcia - Provides five crosses in loss Garcia provided five crosses (two accurate) and put one shot on target in 79 minutes of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Sevilla.
Impact Garcia has logged 11 crosses over his last two starts but hasn't played more than 79 minutes in a single game since Sept 18 against Deportivo Alaves. Should he remain in the lineup, he'll over some value, if he's needed to fill out minutes while earning a place of his own. Up next is a visit from Real Sociedad, which are tied for the second-best defensive record in La Liga.
NOVEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ezequiel Avila - Takes three shots in loss Avila took three shots (one on goal) in 68 minutes of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Sevilla.
Impact Avila looked better in this game but still couldn't find the net for a second consecutive start. What's still promising for Avila is that he's scored twice in his last four appearances, of which three have been starts. As he finds a steady place in the lineup, there's a chance he'll become a solid striking option in his best form. Up next is a visit from Real Sociedad, which are tied for the second-best defensive record in the league.

Sergio Herrera - Three saves in clean sheet Herrera kept a clean sheet and made three saves during Wednesday's 0-0 draw with Real Madrid.
Impact Herrera helped Osasuna earn a point by shutting out Real on Wednesday. The clean sheet was the fifth in 11 league starts for the keeper while his three saves upped his season total to 31.
OCTOBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kike Garcia - One shot in scoreless draw Kike took an off target shot during Wednesday's 0-0 draw with Real Madrid.
Impact Kike was held off the scoresheet but wasn't alone as both teams failed to score on Wednesday. The forward didn't cross or create a chance while his lone shot tied for the second highest amount on the team in the draw.

Aridane - Out Wednesday Aridane (calf) will be out for Wednesday's clash with Real Madrid after failing to make the initial squad list.
Impact Aridane will miss yet another match as he fails to make the traveling squad. The calf injury obviously isn't healing as fast as was once hoped, and it's quickly becoming apparent he may be out until after the international break. Look for a return to training to start to have faith in Aridane returning to the starting XI.

Sergio Herrera - Concedes one in draw Herrera conceded one goal and made three saves during Friday's 1-1 draw with Granada.
Impact Herrera has conceded just one goal in each of the last two matches but failed to record a victory on either occasion. This recent record means he's in decent form, but facing two high-scoring sides in Real Madrid and Sevilla next week could prove to be tougher challenges than he can handle.
OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ruben Garcia - Creates two chances in draw Garcia created two chances from six crosses (one accurate) during Friday's 1-1 draw with Granada.
Impact Garcia gets steady production thanks to his role on set pieces but he's only finished one full 90 all season and has provided just one assist in 10 appearances. He'll next face Real Madrid and Sevilla, which both do well to prevent opposing midfielders from racking up crosses.
OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Roberto Torres - Active in draw Torres created four chances from 11 crosses (four accurate) and took two shots (one on target) during Friday's 1-1 draw with Granada.
Impact Torres has done rather well this season to score two goals, provide two assists and collect 35 crosses despite only starting in four of his seven appearances. With two tough games coming over the week at Real Madrid and at Sevilla, Torres could be an important asset to consider against more talented opponents.
OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ezequiel Avila - Scores against Granada Avila scored one goal from four shots (three on goal) during 67 minutes of Friday's 1-1 draw with Granada.
Impact Avila has yet to finish a full 90 this season but has scored in each of his last two appearances. If he can turn his current form into a longer run of success, Avila will have the first crack at becoming the top striker and return to the player that can score 10 goals a season. Up next is a trip to Real Madrid, which have conceded 11 goals in nine matches.
OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Angel - Sent off in draw Cote was sent off after 74 minutes of Friday's 1-1 draw with Granada.
Impact Cote had started in two of his last three appearances, recording one goal, one assist and now one dismissal as well. He'll be unavailable for Wednesday's trip to Real Madrid at the least, and Manu Sanchez should reclaim his starting spot during Cote's absence.

Granada's late goal denies Osasuna share of lead in Spain
A 90th-minute goal from far outside the area by Granada substitute Ángel Montoro has denied 10-man Osasuna the chance to move to the top of the Spanish leagueOCTOBER 22, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kike Garcia - Named to match-day squad Kike (undisclosed) will be an option off the bench versus Granada on Friday.
Impact Assuming he gets onto the pitch, Kike will be making his 10 appearances of the season for the club, having logged eight starts and registered two goals on 19 shots (eight on target) thus far. With his knock seemingly behind him, the forward should be in the mix to reclaim his spot in the starting XI versus Real Madrid on Wednesday.
OCTOBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Aridane - Sidelined versus Granada Aridane (calf) will miss Friday's clash with Granada.
Impact Aridane last featured for the club Sept. 26 versus Mallorca in which he was forced off in the 70th minute. Considering the central defender has managed just two shots (zero on target), fantasy players shouldn't expect him to provide much in the way of fantasy value outside of clearances even once cleared to play.
