Tanguy Nianzou - Could return Saturday Nianzou (hamstring) will be in contention against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday. Manager Jose Luis Mendilibar told reporters, "Marcao and Nianzou are available to enter this call."

Impact Nianzou will almost certainly come off the bench if he does get onto the pitch considering his extended absence. Once back to full match fitness, the defender should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI after starting 22 of his 25 appearances in La Liga and European competition last season.

Marcao - Available against Rayo Vallecano Marcao (strain) will be in contention versus Rayo Vallecano on Saturday after manager Jose Luis Mendilibar told reports, "Marcao and Nianzou are available to enter this call."

Impact If Marcao gets onto the pitch, it would be his first appearance for the club this season after being sidelined due to his muscular injury. The defender was plagued by injuries last season, logging a mere 11 matches across La Liga and European competition. At this point, Marcao will likely have to prove he can stay healthy off the bench first.

Youssef En-Nesyri - Starting against Eindhoven En-Nesyri (ankle) was named to the starting XI versus PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday.

Impact En-Nesyri is back on the pitch after just one match on the shelf due to his ankle problem. In his last time out, the forward ended a five-match goal drought with a marker against Almerica on Sept. 26. With En-Nesyri fully fit, he should be a mainstay in the starting XI moving forward where he figures to offer decent offensive upside.

Erik Lamela - Unavailable Tuesday Lamela will be unavailable for Tuesday's Champions League matchup with PSV Eindhoven due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Lamela had started three of the last four matches for the club before picking up this knock with the club described as minor. For the season, the forward has recorded two goals on seven shots (three on target), 10 crosses (three accurate) and 11 chances created. A healthy Oliver Torres (strain) could find himself back in the starting XI with Lamela out.

In those three outings, Torres recorded three shots (one on target) and nine crosses (three accurate).

Impact En-Nesyri looks sets to return after missing just one match due to his ankel problem. The forward has started five of his seven appearances for the club this season, in which he scored two goals on 15 shots (nine on target), and should be in the mix to reclaim a spot in the starting XI.

Sergio Ramos - Own goal against Barcelona Ramos generated an own goal, five clearances and two interceptions in Friday's 1-0 loss to Barcelona.

Impact Ramos netted the only goal of Friday's match in an unfortunate fashion, scoring an own goal in the 72nd minute to lift his longtime rival FC Barcelona to a win. If it weren't for the own goal, the defender would've had a pretty good game in the defense, notching one block, two interceptions and five clearances in his 90 minutes of work.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Ocampos - Three crosses in loss Ocampos recorded one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 defeat to Barcelona.

Impact Ocampos wasn't amazing on Friday but did well to stay involved in the game, registering one shot, a chance created and three crosses. The attacker was back in the starting lineup after sitting the last match against Almeria and should remain in that starting XI after starting the first six matches of the season. He has one assist this campaign but is yet to bag a goal after having four in La Liga last season.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Rakitic - Whips in six crosses Rakitic registered two shots (one on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Friday's 1-0 loss against Barcelona.

Impact Rakitic had another great game distributing the ball, sending in six crosses and creating two chances. He leads the team with a whopping 41 crosses in La Liga and also leads the team in chances created, registering 16. However, even with all these scoring opportunities, the Croatian still has zero goal contributions in Spain this campaign.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dodi Lukebakio - Registers six shots Lukebakio generated six shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 1-0 loss versus Barcelona.

Impact Lukebakio was unfortunate not to score a goal on Friday, firing in six shots but only putting one on target. The attacker has done well since getting the starting nod three matches ago, registering 12 shots (four on target) and six crosses (one accurate) over that span. During this campaign, he will share time with Rafa Mir, Erik Lamela and Lucas Ocampos but should still get regular minutes between resting players and future injuries.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Orjan Nyland - Unfortunate to lose clean sheet Nyland recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 1-0 loss against Barcelona.

Impact Nyland had a decent performance on Friday, making four saves, but was unlucky to lose his clean sheet after fellow teammate Sergio Ramos scored an own goal in the 76th minute. The goalie has started the last three games, registering one clean sheet and six saves with only two goals conceded, since taking over the starting duty from Marko Dmitrovic. Nyland will most likely be in the net next match against PSV after a decent performance against Barcelona.
