Ramon Terrats - Features off bench Terrats (hamstring) featured off bench in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Barcelona, confirming he is back fit for Espanyol.

Impact Terrats suffered a hamstring injury that made him miss the last two La Liga games of the year but the midfielder could recover over the winter break since he featured off bench for eight minutes against the Blaugranas. Terrats will continue to be a bench option at best for Espanyol moving forward.

Charles Pickel - Going back to Barcelona Pickel is heading back to Barcelona after completing his international duty with DR of Congo at the AFCON and could be back available for Sunday's clash against Levante.

Impact Pickel was eliminated with DR of Congo from the AFCON and will now head back to Barcelona and could be back available for Espanyol for Sunday's clash against Levante. The versatile midfielder has been mainly a bench option this season and should claim back that role moving forward with the Catalans.

Pol Lozano - Set for suspension Lozano will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in La Liga.

Impact Lozano accumulated five yellow cards in La Liga and will be suspended for the clash against Levante on Sunday. His absence will impact the starting squad since he has been a regular starter in the midfield of Espanyol, with Edu Exposito likely playing deeper in the heart of the game for that clash.

Edu Exposito - Leads team in crosses Exposito generated seven crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Barcelona.

Impact Exposito would see a decent match despite the loss as the match ended, with the midfielder earning a team-high of seven crosses in the contest. This is a fourth straight match with five or more crosses for the midfielder, recording over double-digit crosses in a contest five times this campaign. This has led to five assists this season, although he has yet to earn a goal.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Pere Milla - Decent day attacking Milla recorded three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Barcelona.

Impact Milla would not make it a second straight game with a goal Saturday, instead only seeing one of his three shots hit the target. He remains a regular starter with 15 stats in 16 appearances this season, already with six goal contributions compared to the three he earned last season, although he has seen nearly 600 more minutes of play.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Marko Dmitrovic - Concedes two against Barcelona Dmitrovic had four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Barcelona.

Impact Dmitrovic would do well against Barcelona until late Saturday, allowing two goals in the final five minutes of regular time after four saves kept them out of the net the rest of the match. This is the second straight game without a clean sheet for the keeper, remaining at seven. He will look to do better next contest, facing Levante on Jan. 11.

Javi Puado - Bench option versus Barcelona Puado (knee) is among the substitutes for Saturday's clash with Barcelona.

Impact Puado may finally see action after being sidelined for three months. This is exciting news for an Espanyol side that could use him either on the wings or as a center-forward, thus threatening Tyrhys Dolan and Roberto Fernandez in terms of playing time. Puado has scored twice in eight games played this season.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Pere Milla - In starting XI Saturday Milla (lower leg) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's derby against Barcelona.

Impact Milla has been one of his team's best offensive threats this season, so his presence boosts their chances of testing a difficult opponent. The winger scored six goals over his previous 15 games while averaging 2.7 shots (1.0 on target) and 1.4 chances created per match over that span. He'll likely continue to be chosen over Antoniu Roca going forward.

Impact Milla is expected to be available for Saturday's derby based on his involvement in training. The winger should return to the lineup right away, as his contributions on offense have been notable. Milla has six goals in 15 matches so far for Espanyol.

Impact Having Puado back in the squad is a huge boost for Espanyol, as the winger is the team's best player by a wide margin. It's uncertain if Puado will be part of the starting lineup right away since he hasn't played since early October, but he should get minutes one way or another if he's included in the squad. Puado has two goals in eight starts this season.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Javi Puado - Could return for derby Puado (knee) has resumed team training and could return for the derby against Barcelona on Jan. 3, according to AS.

Impact Puado has missed every game since early October due to a knee injury but is now nearing a return to competition, as he has resumed team training and could be back in the match squad for the derby against Barcelona on Jan. 3. That would be excellent news for the Catalans, since he is an undisputed starter when fit and available and will likely reclaim that role to boost the frontline once back. That said, after nearly three months without playing, the attacking midfielder will likely be eased back into the mix.

Leandro Cabrera - Defensive wall Cabrera had 10 clearances and one interception in Monday's 2-1 win over Athletic.

Impact Cabrera turned in a strong defensive performance in Monday's win over Athletic, recording one interception, two blocks and, for the second straight match, 10 clearances to keep danger at bay. The center-back remains a key figure for his side, having featured in 16 of the club's 17 matches this season, with his lone absence coming due to suspension.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pere Milla - Suffers shin injury Milla scored once before being forced off due to a shin injury in Monday's 2-1 victory over Athletic Club, according to AS.

Impact Milla scored his sixth goal of the season in 15 appearances in La Liga against Athletic Club on Monday, serving as his team's top scorer in the absence of Javi Puado (knee). However, the attacking midfielder was forced off before the hour mark after a heavy collision with Unai Simon that appears to have injured his shin. Milla will be assessed in the coming days and will hope to recover in time for the derby against Barcelona on Jan. 3. That said, if he were to miss some time while recovering, Jofre Carreras would be a likely option to start in his place.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tyrhys Dolan - Provides one assist in victory Dolan assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 2-1 win versus Athletic.

Impact Dolan, back in the starting XI after missing a match through suspension, played a key role in Monday's win over Athletic by providing an assist to Pere Milla early in the second half while also contributing defensively with four tackles. The Englishman remains an important piece for his side despite limited end product, having yet to score but tallying three assists in 16 La Liga appearances this season.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Romero - Scores one goal against Athletic Carlos Romero scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Monday's 2-1 win against Athletic.

Impact Romero turned in an excellent all-around performance against Athletic on Monday, first equalizing with a well-taken strike from outside the box before shining defensively with five tackles, three interceptions, a season-high five clearances and two blocks. The left-back is enjoying a strong campaign overall, totaling three goals and two assists in 16 La Liga appearances this season, while also adding 44 tackles and 20 interceptions during that span.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Marko Dmitrovic - Six saves in win Dmitrovic had six saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 2-1 win versus Athletic.

Impact Dmitrovic turned in a strong performance with six saves in Monday's win over Athletic, even though his three-match clean-sheet streak came to an end. The Serbian goalkeeper remains in excellent form, allowing just one goal while making 13 saves over his last four La Liga appearances. He will look to keep that momentum going in a tough post-break matchup against Barcelona in the derby.

Pere Milla - Injured Monday Milla scored and was forced off with an apparent injury during the second half of Monday's clash with Athletic Club.

Impact Milla scored just after halftime and made it just five minutes more before being forced off. The midfielder is a huge blow to the starting XI, though Jofre Carreras is a capable attacking option. Milla will have an extended period to recover before La Liga resumes with a Jan. 3 match against Barcelona.
