Impact The full-back suffered the injury in the early stages of the second half in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Getafe, and further exams taken Monday confirmed the severity of the injury.

Impact Correia was a huge source of playmaking from the right flank as he went up the field whenever he was given room to do so. His defensive numbers were solid, too, but what the right-back provides offensively is what can make him go to the next level when it takes to fantasy production. The fact that he once again profiles as a first choice for the starting XI just helps.

Impact Correia has featured in all seven La Liga matches for the club to open the season but this is the second time he has come off at half. With the short week, the right-back could be in danger of missing out versus Betis on Sunday, especially if the team decides it would be better to get him back to 100 percent rather than playing through his undisclosed injury. With Dimitri Foulquier (undisclosed) also dealing with a knock, Cristhian Mosquera could be pressed into service Sunday if Correia can't play.

Eight crosses in loss Correia had eight crosses (two accurate) and zero chances created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Mallorca.

Impact Correia sent in eight hopeful crosses, though none were particularly dangerous and he failed to create a chance.

Impact Correia also conceded four fouls but went a fourth straight game without conceding a booking. In those four matches, Correia has done fairly well defensively, logging four tackles and winning 11 of them while logging 11 fouls.

Creates three chances in loss Correia created three chances from eight crosses (four accurate) and won two-of-two tackles during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Correia also made two interceptions during this contest but was unable to complete the full 90. As he's dealt with some nagging injuries, it could be worth tracking his status closer to each match. If he can avoid more of the bookings that he picked up in week one against Girona and stay fit, Correia could hold off Dimitri Foulquier as the starting right-back and be a solid asset at times.
