Impact It's not entirely clear what's ailing Isak, but it could just be an extended vacation after the Euros and he was granted an extra week to work on his fitness. Up next is a visit from Rayo Vallecano, and youngster Julen Lobete could start at striker if Isak remains out.

Alejandro Remiro - Concedes four to Barca Remiro conceded four goals and made four saves during Sunday's 4-2 loss to Barcelona.
Impact Remiro didn't have a great start to his season after only conceding 38 goals in 38 starts last year.

However, it's only been one game, so matchups against Rayo Vallecano and Levante could help him along.
