Oliver Torres - Out against Getafe Torres will miss Monday's match against Getafe due to an undisclosed reason.

Impact Torres also missed the first match of the season against Rayo Vallecano and remains unavailable. He's mostly a backup option in the midfield when fit, so his absence isn't nearly as impactful as it could be while Fernando, Ivan Rakitic and Joan Jordan are all able to play.

Lucas Ocampos - Remains out Ocampos (undisclosed) remains out for Monday's match against Getafe.

Impact Ocampos also missed the first match of the season and it's unclear when he could return. Along with Rafa, Erik Lamela will help to fill the gap on the wings until Ocampos is able to play.

Rafa Mir - Moves to Sevilla Rafa joined Sevilla from Wolves on Friday. He's committed to a six-year contract with his new club.

Impact Scoring 13 goals for Huesca and a hat trick for Spain at the Olympics is a good way to climb the club chain in one year and now Rafa finds himself in one of the top teams in La Liga. What will be more difficult for Rafa is to consistently start at forward due to the presence of Youssef En-Nesyri, who scored 18 goals of his own last season and added six more in the Champions League. As a result, Rafa may first bump Luuk de Jong out of the striking rotation and then play on the wings in order to include the most talented lineup.

Luuk De Jong - On bench in win De Jong was left on the bench during Sunday's 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact De Jong had picked up a knee injury over the summer and is fit enough to make the match day roster for the opening round of the season. As the backup striker behind Youssef En-Nesyri, de Jong may not be guaranteed to start frequently in any case.

Diego Carlos - Keeps clean sheet to open season Carlos kept a clean sheet with one tackle won during Sunday's 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Carlos returned from winning Olympic gold with Brazil in Tokyo and didn't miss a beat as he helped his team to a shutout in the first match of the season. Alongside Jules Kounde and in front of Bono or Marko Dmitrovic, Carlos forms part of one of the better defenses in Spain and Europe.

Jules Kounde - Goes distance in win Kounde kept the clean sheet with one interception made during Sunday's 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Kounde slotted straight into the lineup in his usual spot an kept yet another clean sheet. Despite having interest from other clubs in his signature, he's tied to Sevilla for now, and it remains to be seen if that will change. As a result, all he can focus on his contributing to one of the best defensive sides in Spain and all of Europe.

Lucas Ocampos - Misses opener through injury Ocampos missed Sunday's 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano due to injury and it's unclear when he could return just yet, according to manager Julen Lopetegui via Ignacio Caceres of El Des...

Impact Ocampos is usually guaranteed a starting spot in this team, but didn't have that chance to open the season. Should he miss an extended run of matches, look to Oscar and Erik Lamela to take his place on on the wing.

Ludwig Augustinsson - Transfers to Sevilla Augustinsson transferred to Sevilla from Werder Bremen on Sunday. He's committed to a four-year contract with his new club.

Impact Augustinsson was a mainstay at Werder through the ups and downs at that club and he finished with our assists from 193 crosses as they were relegated last season. As a proven alternate to Marcos Acuna on the left flank, it's not clear how often Augustinsson will get to play just yet, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him win the left-back job at some point and not give it up.

Marko Dmitrovic - Three saves in opener Dmitrovic made three saves during Sunday's 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Dmitrovic made three saves to open the season, notching his first clean sheet at the first chance. Despite this Dmitrovic hasn't secured the no. 1 shirt, and will face a tough test to win out over Bono. Next up is a Monday trip away to Getafe.

AUGUST 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Marcos Acuna - Creates five chances Acuna created five chances during Sunday's 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Acuna opened the season with five chances created, a sixth of his total from last season. The midfielder appears to be pushing forward more than he was allowed to in the 20/21 season, which could help his upside. Next up is a Monday trip away to Getafe.

AUGUST 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jesus Navas - Seven crosses in opener Navas sent in seven crosses (three accurate) during Sunday's 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Navas opened the season with plenty of volume, peppering the box with seven crosses. Navas put together six assists last season, and if he can continue this volume he could easily surpass that total. He travels to Getafe on Monday, a match that should be favorable once more.

AUGUST 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Erik Lamela - Brace off bench Lamela scored twice on two shots during Sunday's 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Lamela made his debut with his new club with a quick brace, piling the insurance goals on off the bench. The midfielder will hope to break into the starting XI and this is as good of a start as possible. Next up is a Monday trip away to Getafe.

AUGUST 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Youssef En-Nesyri - Goal, assist in opener En-Nesyri scored once and provided one assist during Sunday's 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact En-Nesyri opened the season in the best way possible, scoring once and tacking on an assist. En-Nesyri produced 18 goals and 0 assists last season, and seems to be on pace for yet another productive season. Next up is a Monday trip away to Getafe.

Gonzalo Montiel - Transfers to Sevilla Montiel transferred to Sevilla from River Plate on Friday. He's committed to a five-year contract with his new club.

Impact Montiel's deal had been rumored for some time, and he's the next young defensive talent brought into one of the smarter clubs in Spain when it comes to transfers. Able to play both as a central defender and on the right, Montiel fills in a key need by providing long-term depth behind Jesus Navas and potentially filling the gap of Jules Kounde, should he be snapped up by a richer club in the coming weeks or years.

Diego Carlos - Nearing club return Carlos wants to return to Sevilla by Wednesday's training session after winning Olympic Gold, according to Diario de Sevilla.

Impact Carlos took his month-long vacation before the Olympics began, so he's used Brazil's success in Japan as preseason training and hopes to be ready in time for Sunday's visit of Rayo Vallecano.

AUGUST 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jules Kounde - Dealing with outside interest Kounde's status for Sunday's season opener against Rayo Vallecano is in question due to transfer interest from Chelsea, according to Eduaro Florido of Diario de Sevilla.

Impact Kounde could easily be seen in the first match of the La Liga season, but it's hard to tell how things are going as Sevilla haven't played many matches during the preseason. What could be more likely is the absence of Diego Carlos, who pushed his competitive matches late into the summer as Brazil won Olympic Gold in Tokyo.
