Carlos Espi - Inks contract extension Espi signed a contract extension with Levante until 2028, the club announced.

Impact Espi has extended his contract with Levante through June 2028 after automatically triggering a renewal clause tied to his number of appearances. The Valencia-born striker joined the club in the summer of 2022 and made his professional debut in February 2024 against Racing Club de Ferrol, logging 37 appearances with six goals last season and adding three goals in 14 matches across league and cup play this campaign. He has also earned caps with Spain's U19 and U20 national teams.

Impact Romero took a blow to the face during Sunday's match against Barcelona and will be re-evaluated during the week to determine his availability for Friday's clash against Alaves. The forward has been a regular starter, and his absence could be significant given he has recorded four goals and one assist across 21 appearances this season. Karl Etta is likely to take on a larger role if Romero is unable to feature.

Unai Elgezabal - Still dealing with knee issues Elgezabal (knee) missed the last two games since he is still dealing with his issues, according to German Munoz from El Chiringuito TV.

Impact Elgezabal still isn't fully cleared to go as he continues to deal with lingering knee issues. He was trending toward being available for Sunday's clash against Barcelona, but in the end he couldn't get over the line physically and was held out because he wasn't fit enough to feature. After opening the season as a regular in the starting XI, he now looks unlikely to regain a starting role until he's back at full speed under coach Luis Castro.

Impact Ryan recorded four clearances and also made 22 passes but was unlucky to concede thrice. He has accumulated 17 saves and nine clearances in the last five games and conceded 10 times. Next, he takes on Alaves, who have netted five times in the last four games and lay 15th in the table

Jon Ander Olasagasti - Active day attacking Olasagasti generated three shots (one on goal), seven crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Villarreal.

Impact Olasagasti would earn only his fifth start of the season Wednesday, coming after 20 appearances. He would see a decent and active day in the attack, notching three shots, three chances created and seven crosses. This has been one of his more prosperous appearances despite not earning a goal contribution, potentially earning him more time in the future.

Carlos Espi - Records three shots Espi registered three shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against Villarreal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 31st minute.

Impact Espi found a spot in the starting XI Wednesday for the first time all season, coming after 12 appearances. He would record two shots, although he was unable to score despite two on target. He remains at one goal all season, coming six appearances ago.

Mathew Ryan - Allows one against Villarreal Ryan recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Ryan would make a decent four saves Wednesday, but was unable to keep the clean sheet, allowing a goal in the loss. This is a third straight game with no clean sheet, stuck at four in 22 appearances this season. With another match on Sunday against Barcelona, he is likely to go another game without a clean sheet.

Ugo Raghouber - Finds starting XI Raghouber (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Villarreal.

Impact Raghouber is with his team after passing testing Sunday, fit enough to find a spot in the starting XI immediately. He will look to maintain a starting role after one game out, starting in three straight games before his injury.

Ivan Romero de Avila Araque - Quiet in loss Romero had two shots (one on target) during Sunday's 2-0 loss against Valencia.

Impact Romero had a couple of attempts here but was mostly held in check by opposing defenders, which ultimately led him to be subbed off midway through the second half. After scoring four goals over his first seven starts, the forward has been scoreless since September and upcoming clashes against Villarreal and Barcelona suggest he shouldn't have a lot of chances to break the scoreless streak.

Kervin Arriaga - Suspended three games Arriaga received a three-game ban for his red card against Valencia, the RFEF announced.

Impact Arriaga was sent off in extra time of Sunday's loss to Valencia, and the disciplinary committee has now handed him a three-match suspension. The midfielder is set to miss matchups against Villarreal, Barcelona and Alaves before being eligible to return in March. It is a tough hit for Levante, who are already stretched thin in midfield with Pablo Martinez (undisclosed) sidelined due injury and Unai Vencedor still working his way back to full fitness, which could open the door for Oriol Rey to step into a larger role in the coming weeks.

Adrian De La Fuente - Busy on both ends in loss De la Fuente had three off-target shots, sent in three inaccurate crosses and made four tackles (two won), five clearances and four interceptions during Sunday's 2-0 loss against V...

Impact De la Fuente put up another impressive two-way performance, being solid at the heart of the defense and a big aerial threat on the attacking end. His ability to rack up numbers on the less glamourous end is very well documented but the center-back added another layer of productivity over his last eight starts, with two goals, one assist and 15 shots, profiling as one of La Liga's most intriguing fantasy assets from his position.

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Mathew Ryan - Concedes two in loss Ryan made zero saves and conceded two goals during Sunday's 2-0 loss against Valencia.

Impact Ryan got beaten twice during the second half and couldn't do much to prevent either goal allowed. What hurts the most from a fantasy standpoint is the fact that these were the only two shots he faced during the entire game and this was the third time over the last four games with the veteran goalkeeper having more goals allowed than saves, which doesn't make him the most appealing pick among his La Liga peers right now.

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Ugo Raghouber - Late call against Villarreal Raghouber (undisclosed) is a late call for Wednesday's clash against Villarreal, coach Luis Castro said in the press conference.

Impact Raghouber is back in full team training with Levante and will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's showdown against Villarreal. The midfielder had been nursing a minor issue but is close to putting it behind him after returning to the matchday squad following his absence in Sunday's derby. That is a major lift for Levante, as he has locked down a regular starting role since arriving at the club and his return would give the midfield a real injection of stability and presence.

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Martinez - Suffers MCL injury Martinez has been diagnosed with a grade-two MCL injury in his left knee, the club reported Monday.

Impact Martinez will spend some time on the sidelines given that he's dealing with moderate ligament damage, but his exact recovery timeline remains unclear. The midfielder got hurt after starting in eight consecutive league games, contributing in both attack and defense. Unai Vencedor and Ugo Raghouber (undisclosed) may compete for increased playing time while Martinez is out.
