Also has calf issue Machis is dealing with a calf injury picked up last week, his club confirmed Wednesday.

Impact Machis picked up the injury in warmups before Thursday's Europa League match against Napoli and hasn't been fit since then. While he missed out on that famous result to advance further in congenital competition, it's also worrisome that Machis didn't face Elche on Sunday and likely won't be fit for Sunday's trip to Athletic Club. While Machis is out, look for Kenedy to continue in a similar role as one of the most valuable attackers for his team.

Out against Elche Machis (strain) missed Sunday's match against Elche.

Impact Machis picked up his injury in warmups before Thursday's UEL match against Napoli and remained unavailable over the weekend. There's a chance that Machis could play in Sunday's match against Athletic Club but there's little new to go by so far. He recorded assists in consecutive matches before picking up this knock.

Suffers injury in warmups Machis picked up a knock during warmups and will likely be replaced by Antonio Puertas in the lineup for Thursday's Europa League match against Napoli, according to Rafael Lamelas...

Impact Machis was somewhat distraught when walking off the pitch before the match began and hopefully hasn't picked up a serious injury. If he's out for Sunday's match against Elche, Antonio Puertas or Alberto Soro could get a spot in the starting lineup.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Logs assist off bench Machis provided one assist from one chance created and put two shots on target during Sunday's 3-2 loss to Huesca.

Impact Machis only played the second half after logging 70 minutes in the UEl win over Napoli three days before this match and still managed to set up a goal for the second straight game. It seems likely that a similar arrangement to this week will occur in the coming matches with Machis set to start in Thursday's Europa League match at Napoli before facing Elche on Sunday.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Stays active in loss Machis swung in five crosses (zero accurate) during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Machis is usually good for a handful of crosses in every game, but he needs to contribute to the scoreline more often, as he's only scored one goal in his last seven matches. With the Europa League match against Napoli coming Thursday, Machis may be rested for Sunday's trip to Huesca.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Logs five crosses in draw Machis took two shots (one on goal) and logged five inaccurate crosses during Sunday's scoreless draw with Celta Vigo.

Impact Machis has alternated starts on the left and right side of the attack over the past three matches but it's only resulted in a consistent number of crosses (12) instead of goal contributions (0). He'll next face Levante, which are tied for the seventh-most shots conceded to attacking midfielders in La Liga.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Takes three shots in win Machis took three shots (one on goal) during 75 minutes of Tuesday's 2-0 win over Osasuna.

Impact Machis has put two shots on goal from five total shots since he returned to the lineup against Barcelona. With a week off while the Super Cup begins, Machis should head into the next match at Villarreal with even better fitness.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots in loss Machis took two shots (one on goal) in 65 minutes of Saturday's 4-0 loss to Barcelona.

Impact Machis had a tough return from a hamstring injury as the visiting Catalans have finally found their attacking groove. With the next match coming Tuesday against Osasuna, Machis will get another chance to prove that he can do better. If not, Kenedy could vie for more opportunities in a busy month.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Makes bench midweek Machis (hamstring) is on the bench for Wednesday's Copa del Rey match.

Impact Machis has missed the last three league matches because of a hamstring injury, but he's in the squad Wednesday, which is a good sign for future starts. If he gets a few minutes Wednesday, there's a chance he'll be healthy enough to start Saturday's match, though against Barcelona, he won't have much fantasy value.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hamstring injury Machis is dealing with an injury to his right hamstring, Granada have announced.

Impact Machis was a notable absence during Wednesday's loss to Real Madrid and this news confirms the reason why he didn't play. Depending on when this injury was first suffered, Machis should be out for two weeks at the most. Kenedy started on the left wing with Machis out, though Luis Javier Suarez and Antonio Puertas are the the top options on the flanks going into Wednesday's match against Valencia.

DECEMBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Real Madrid Machis (strain) is not in the squad for Wednesday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Machis was forced off in the 61st minute a few days ago and unsurprisingly isn't in the squad Wednesday. The hope is that it's not a serious issue and he can be back in the XI next week. Kenedy is starting in his place against Real Madrid and will likely split sets with Luis Milla.

DECEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with injury Machis was replaced by Kenedy in the 61st minute of Sunday's match against Real Betis due to a knock.

Impact Machis went down heavily after a tackle by a Betis player and was seen limping around the edge of the pitch after his replacement. Since the match was mostly in control by this point, Machis was able to leave with less of a risk to conceding the result. There's only three more days until the next match against Real Madrid, so Machis doesn't have much time to recover if he's hurt and either Kenedy or Luis Suarez could play on the left wing if Machis is out.

DECEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Logs another assist in win Machis provided one assist from two chances created on eight crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 1-0 win over Elche.

Impact Machis has returned to his some of his best form after a disappointing run in November. Over his last two league matches, Machis has recorded two assists from four chances created and provided 17 crosses. These are exceptionally solid numbers that should play favorably into a matchup against the league's worst defense in Real Betis.

DECEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist in draw Machis provided one assist from two chances created on nine crosses (two accurate) and put three shots off target during Sunday's 3-3 draw with Huesca.

Impact Machis set up Jorge Molina to cut the lead late into the match. He's struggled to keep his shots on target, but still remains the best creator in the attack for his team. With his solid scoring floor, he'll next face Elche, which have conceded the most crosses in the league to midfielders.

DECEMBER 7, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in loss Machis created one chance and drew five fouls during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Celta Vigo.

Impact Machis usually is the most important player to his side's attacking success, and as he was mostly held in check throughout this match the result ended up as the second straight 3-1 league loss. This could partially be chalked down to the adjusted formation, but it still wasn't the usual performance that we see from Machis. He'll next face Huesca, which have conceded the fourth-most possession to forwards in La Liga.

NOVEMBER 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Takes four shots in loss Machis took four shots (two on goal) and created one chance from eight crosses (four accurate) during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Real Valladolid.

Impact Machis has solidified his role as the most reliable option for fantasy from his team with 14 shots and 16 crosses over his last three matches in the league and UEL. While Sunday's match saw a lack of finishing from everyone including Machis, the fact that they dominated in possession and shots on goal shows there's still plenty they can do. If he starts, look for Machis to play an important role in the next match against Celta Vigo, which have conceded the most goals in the league.

NOVEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Misses penalty in loss Machis took two shots (one on goal) and missed a penalty during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Machis had a chance to salvage something from a tough match but had his penalty saved late into stoppage time. This miss shouldn't change many opinions about Machis, as he still didn't get much help with most of the first team out due to COVID-19 protocols. He'll have a good shot to shine once again in the next match against Real Valladolid, which have conceded the most crosses and shots to attacking midfielders in La Liga.

NOVEMBER 9, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Scores wonder goal in win Machis scored one goal on his only shot during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Levante.

Impact Machis started the scoring with a wonderful curling strike that left goalkeeper Aitor Fernandez planted to his spot. After not starting in three of the first five matches of the season, Machis has started in three of the last four in all competitions and scored twice. If given the opportunity, Machis should be able to continue his strong play, however he'll next face the league leaders in Real Sociedad.

NOVEMBER 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off bench in win Machis played 35 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Machis was only needed off the bench following his key goal in Thursday's Europa League win over PSV. With more continental matches coming over the next few weeks, Machis may not play much in the league, which will give more chances to Kenedy and Luis Javier Suarez to start on the left wing.

Comes off bench in draw Machis took three shots (two on goal) and provided two crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Cadiz.

Impact Machis was a second half sub as he needed a break following the midweek win over Malmo to advance to the next round of the Europa League. Even though he's usually one of his club's best fantasy options, Machis will likely have a decrease in value because he'll be required to play more in Europa League matches than in La Liga matches. Conversely, Kenedy should see a rise in playtime because of the increase in fixtures over the coming months.
