Daniel Wass - Assists in rout Wass provided one assist on one chance created during Sunday's 4-1 win over Osasuna.

Impact Wass isn't one to get forward and join the attack too frequently, but he did well Sunday to add his second goal contribution on the season.

Impact Alderete scored a rare goal during Sunday's win, continuing his run of excellent form to start the season. The big defender isn't much of a goal threat, but can put together consistent defensive performances. He will be tested Sunday, against Real Madrid.

Jose Luis Gaya - Leaves early with pain Gaya was replaced after 45 minutes of Sunday's 4-1 win over Osasuna due to a calf issue, according to manager Jose Bordalas via El Desmarque.

Impact Gaya fought through a calf injury to play in this game and was eventually removed with a renewed problem in that area. There are still three games left to play in September, so Gaya's status will be worth tracking in a busy part of the calendar, and there aren't many options behind Gaya at left-back if Toni Lato (muscular) is still unfit.

Denis Cheryshev - Dealing with sprained knee Cheryshev suffered a sprained knee during Sunday's 4-1 win over Osasuna, according to Alex Lopez Sanfeliu of El Desmarque.

Though Dimitri Foulquier took his place on the pitch in Sunday's win, a more-likely replacement for Cheryshev is one of Hugo Duro or Helder Costa as attacking options.

Jose Luis Gaya - Making effort to play Gaya (calf) trained Friday and returned optimistic results on his injury, according to Alex Lopez Sanfeliu of El Desmarque.

Impact Gaya is trying to push through and return by Sunday's trip to Osasuna, but he needs to be careful not to make his muscular injury worse. If Toni Lato is fit, he's the first backup to Gaya at left-back and Dimitri Foulquier could play on that flank as a last resort.

Omar Alderete - Worrying return Alderete isn't a guarantee to play in Sunday's trip to Osasuna as he still needs to travel back from national team duty with Paraguay, according to Alex Lopez Sanfeliu of El Desmar...

Impact Alderete has better odds to start after not playing in the final national team game of the week against Venezuela, but the rushed flight could throw a wrinkle into that plan. If he's unable to play, Mouctar Diakhaby could get a chance to start.

Maxi Gomez - Cutting return close Gomez's status will be questionable for Sunday's trip to Osasuna as he still needs to fly back from national team duty with Uruguay, according to Alex Lopez Sanfeliu of El Desmarqu...

Impact There's no guarantee that Gomez would start without much time to train and after a busy week, but he could still be available if the manager decides he's able to play. Should he not start, Marcos Andre could be in line to join the first XI on his debut for Los Che.

Thierry Correia - Consistent starter Correia has logged four crosses, nine tackles and two clean sheets over the first three matches of the season.

Impact Correia has made the starting right-back spot his own, though the arrival of Dimitri Foulquier will certainly increase competition for minutes throughout the season. With the increased defensive stability under manager Jose Bordalas, Correia offers reasonable value with room to grow if he can improve his attacking efforts even more.

Mouctar Diakhaby - Limited minutes off bench Diakhaby has played in 10 minutes over three matches to start the season.

Impact Diakhaby has fallen behind in the pecking order after the arrival of Omar Alderete, but it wouldn't be surprising to see his name called later in the campaign. For now, he'll have to ride the bench and wait for his chance.

Jose Luis Gaya - Picks up calf injury Gaya suffered a calf injury while on international duty and has been replaced in the squad by Sergio Reguilon, his federation announced Monday.

Impact Gaya is out for Spain's final game against Kosovo and will return to his club to assess his injury in further detail. Should he miss Sunday's trip to Osasuna, Toni Lato could get the chance to play if he's recovered from his own injury.
