On bench against Sociedad Fernandez (lower body) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Real Sociedad.

Impact Fernandez is making his return, as was expected, ending an 11-match absence due to a lower-body issue. The goalie will most likely remain on the bench despite being healthy now, as he is the club's second choice in net, only appearing four times all season.

Available for selection Fernandez (lower body) is available for Saturday's clash with Sociedad, according to manager Alex Medina.

Still not an option Fernandez (lower body) is out for Monday's match against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Fernandez is still not ready for a return, having been left out of the team sheet for a sixth straight match due to a lower-body issue.

He will hope to heal up before the club's next match against Getafe on Monday.

Won't face Real Betis Fernandez (lower body) is not available to face Real Betis on Saturday, manager Alexander Medina told media Friday.

Impact Fernandez is set to miss a fifth straight game, but his absence won't affect many fantasy decisions. After all, the goalkeeper isn't the top choice even when fit, so Andre Ferreira should continue in the starting XI for Saturday's matchup. Fernandez's next chance to play will come against Atletico Madrid on Jan. 22, but that seems unlikely as well.

Impact All signs point to Fernandez being a true game-time call for Saturday's clash, and if he's not available, then Andre Ferreira will stay between the posts. Fernandez has made four starts this season, allowing 11 goals and making eight saves with no clean sheets.

Lower back pain confirmed Fernandez (back) is struggling with lower back pain, Granada announced.

Impact Fernandez is suffering from lower back pain and has no definite timeline for his return. Since the issue he has is generally just pain it will be hard for the goalkeeper to have any specific return timeline. Fernandez will hope that this issue proves to be a minor one, though he is a depth option more often than not with Andre Ferreira the preferred choice in net.

Comes off injured after 10 minutes Fernandez was taken off the field in the 10th minute after suffering an undisclosed injury against Real Madrid.

Impact Fernandez looks to possibly heading towards some time on the sidelines after going down with an injury early on in Saturday's match. It did not look good for the keeper, but little is still known about the injury, as the club has yet to release any further information. Andre Ferreira replaced Fernandez in goal and will most likely hold the starting role while he is out.

Available off bench Friday Fernandez (finger) is on the bench for Friday's match against Alaves.

Makes squad to face Alaves Fernandez (finger) is in the squad to face Alaves on Friday.

Impact Fernandez hasn't played since Sep. 18 after undergoing finger surgery, but it seems he might be an option for the team's first game after the November international break. Andre Ferreira has been starting while Fernandez has been sidelined.

Undergoes finger surgery Fernandez had surgery to repair a broken finger and will be sidelined indefinitely, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Fernandez has made three starts for the club this season but figures to find himself relegated to the backup role even when healthy. As such, the keeper's absence should have minimal impact on the starting XI for the club moving forward.

Rough outing in loss Fernandez registered three saves and allowed four goals in Monday's 4-2 defeat versus Girona.

Impact Fernandez made three saves but allowed four goals against Girona. He has now conceded 11 goals across three appearances and is not a viable fantasy option until proven otherwise.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Woeful outing Saturday Fernandez registered two saves and allowed five goals in Saturday's 5-3 loss against Real Sociedad.

Impact Fernandez couldn't have wished for a worse outing, especially given how the goals happened -- two were one-on-one situations, two were edge-of-the-box shots, and the other one was an own goal. Fernandez will look to bounce back when Granada takes on Girona after the international break, but he's not going to have a lot of upside unless the defense improves significantly.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes twice in win Fernandez had three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 victory versus Mallorca.

Impact Fernandez made his first start of the season Saturday, and although he conceded two goals, he still secured the win. It is unclear whether or not he will start again next Saturday at Real Sociedad, but if he does he will face a side which has scored just two goals in three matches this season.
