Jordi Masip - Concedes twice against Atletico Masip conceded two goals and made one save in Saturday's loss against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Masip couldn't stop Atletico Madrid from scoring twice, and the 2-1 defeat relegated the club to the Liga SmartBank for the 2021-22 campaign. Masip alternated as a starter over the last few weeks but ended the season on a sour note, allowing two or more goals in each of his last four appearances. He conceded 40 goals and made 76 saves in 25 starts during the 2020-21 season.

Lucas Olaza - Creates four chances in loss Olaza registered four chances created, nine crosses (two accurate), two tackles (zero won) and a yellow card in Sunday's 4-1 loss at Real Sociedad.

Impact Olaza led his side in chances created and sent in the second-most crosses, but it wasn't enough to earn at least one point on the road. He also picked up his eighth yellow card of the season, something to keep in mind when they host Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

Pablo Hervias - Assists at Real Sociedad Hervias assisted one goal from three chances created, took two shots (one on target), sent in 10 crosses (two accurate), made one interception and one clearance in Sunday's 4-1 los...

Impact Hervias assisted Marcos Andre goal in the 82nd minute to cut Sociedad's lead to 4-1, his fifth assist in the season. The midfielder also led his side sending in his second-most crosses in the season. He will now face a tougher matchup against Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

Jordi Masip - Makes five saves in rout Masip made five saves during Sunday's 4-1 loss at Real Sociedad.

Impact Masip matched his third-best mark in saves in the season, but it wasn't enough to avoid the road loss -- as he conceded four goals before halftime. The goalkeeper has yet to keep a clean sheet since Jan 2 in his last 13 starts, and will look to bounce back against Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

Roberto - Out for season finale Roberto was sent off from the bench in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Real Sociedad and will miss the season finale against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Roberto was in line to start as he's recently been alternating games with Masip, but he'll be unavailable due to sanctions from the Spanish FA. With the visitors in Atleti fighting for the title and showing improved attacking form, it may not be the best matchup for either goalie, though only Masip is able to start now.

Ruben Alcaraz - Concedes 10th booking Alcaraz will be suspended for Sunday's season finale against Atletico Madrid after picking up his 10th yellow card of the season.

Impact Alcaraz finishes the season with 25 starts in 30 league appearances and two different suspensions for yellow card accumulation. With Valladolid close to relegation, Alcaraz will hope he's done enough to earn a new contract with a different club in the first division, as he's still a solid option for a defensive-midfielder. Michel could take his place in Sunday's game as the visiting club looks to claim the league title.

Sergi Guardiola - Out Sunday Sergi will miss Sunday's match at Real Sociedad after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season.

Impact Sergi hasn't scored a goal since September of 2020 and it's unlikely he would've started now that both Jota and Shonn Weissman are healthy. He'll next be eligible for the season finale against Atletico Madrid.

Jawad El Yamiq - Picks up suspension El Yamiq will miss Sunday's trip to Real Valladolid after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season.

Impact El Yamiq will be an important absence as his club are trying desperately to avoid relegation. In his place, Bruno Gonzalez will become more important to the defense and Miguel Angel Rubio could make a rare start if a three center-back formation is utilized.

Luis Perez - Back on bench Perez (muscular) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Villarreal.

Impact Perez suffered an injury in the May 2 contest and missed the match over the weekend, but it looks like he's healthy again. While he may not make an appearance off the bench Thursday, he should be an option to start Sunday at Sociedad, returning to his role at right-back.
