This will leave the club without their starter on the left flank of the past two outings, with Pere Milla likely to start in his place. Terrats will next be an option following the end of Monday's outing.

Impact Kike would earn the club's lone assist of the match Saturday, finding Ramon Terrats in the 54th minute. This comes despite appearing off the bench, only playing for 39 minutes. It was also his first assist of the season, although he does have three goals in his 20 appearances.

Earns start, scores Terrats scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Valencia.

Impact Terrats was in the starting XI for the first time since November on Saturday, with the midfielder playing 79 minutes. He would also score his first goal of the season, coming after only five shots this season. He scored four goals in 15 appearances last season, but only one in 14 appearances this campaign.

Allows three against Valencia Dmitrovic registered two saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Valencia.

Impact Dmitrovic would have a rough day in net Saturday, allowing three goals while only making two saves. That said, he is now five games without a clean sheet, with seven in 21 appearances this season. With his next match against Alaves, he will have a decent chance of turning the streak around.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Suspension over El Hilali is no longer suspended and is an option for the club moving forward.

Impact El Hillal missed the club's last match due to yellow card accumulation but is back in contention, already serving the one-game suspension. He will be expected to return to his starting role at right-back almost immediately, only missing three starts all season when an option.

Active display in loss Lozano had two off-target shots, created three chances and drew one foul during Friday's 2-0 loss against Girona.

Impact Lozano returned from suspension with good early thrust, mixing shot attempts and chance creation before fading as Espanyol lost control, and the late sub off reflected that dip in influence. The bigger issue remains his season long lack of end product, with just one goal and no assists, which keeps his ceiling extremely limited even when the peripherals show up early.

Active off bench in loss Carreras had four shots (one on target), created two chances, sent in seven crosses (three accurate), drew two fouls and was shown a yellow card during Friday's 2-0 loss against Gi...

Impact Carreras brought his usual super sub spark, piling up shots, crosses, and chance creation in a frantic chase mode that suited his high-tempo game, but the same issue persists as he remains without a goal or assist this season. The activity level keeps him fantasy relevant in short bursts, yet the lack of end product across the entire campaign underlines why his ceiling stays theoretical until he turns volume into actual returns.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Allows two PK goals in loss Dmitrovic made two saves and conceded two penalty goals during Friday's 2-0 loss against Girona.

Impact Dmitrovic had both goals go past him from the spot, but he otherwise managed the match very well, and his seven clean sheets across 20 starts show his floor is far sturdier than Espanyol's defensive wobble suggests. He stays a matchup-conscious start more appealing than most streaming options, and his clean sheet rate keeps him firmly in weekly consideration.

Two penalties give Girona bragging rights over Espanyol in fierce Catalan derby

Penalties from Ukrainian striker Vladyslav Vanat in stoppage time of each half have given Girona a 2-0 victory over Espanyol in a fierce Catalan derby in La Liga

Undergoes successful surgery Puado (knee) underwent a successful surgery on Thursday and will now begin his recovery, the club announced.

Impact Puado suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's draw against Levante and underwent successful surgery on Thursday to address the injury. The forward will miss the rest of the season and is likely to miss the start of the 2026/27 campaign with the Catalans. This is a significant blow for Espanyol, as they are enjoying a strong season and will be without their best player for several months. Kike is expected to see increased playing time in the frontline while he is out.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Torn ACL confirmed Puado is out for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL, according to his club.

Impact Puado is hitting the sidelines for the rest of the season, as after returning from an ankle injury around a week ago, he went down again and has been confirmed to have torn his ACL. This is unfortunate for the player and club, as he was their lead forward, recording two goals in 10 appearances (eight starts). He will likely miss the start of the next season as well and return sometime near September, with Kike as a likely replacement.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Five shot in draw Exposito recorded five shots (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Levante.

Impact Exposito's set piece quality drove Espanyol's late push, including a 76th minute cross that Leandro Cabrera headed on target and forced Mathew Ryan into a save. He remained involved as the primary service man once the game opened up, contributing to several season highs with five shots, six tackles, and four clearances created. The playmaker likely delivered his best outing of the season, although he couldn't find the back of the net to score his first goal of the campaign.

Second-half stunner breaks deadlock Romero scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Levante.

Impact Romero opened the scoring in the 53rd minute with a superb left-footed strike from the left side of the box that flew into the top-right corner. He continued to provide thrust from the flank, stepping high to keep Levante pinned back after the break. He contributed on both sides of the ball with three shots, five tackles, three clearances, and two interceptions. Romero scored for the second time in his last three appearances, bringing his total to four goals in 18 league games, an impressive return for a left-back.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

One save in draw Dmitrovic had one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Levante.

Impact Dmitrovic conceded once on Iker Losada's 55th minute equaliser, beaten from close range after Adrian de la Fuente's through ball split the line. He was otherwise lightly tested and finished with one save, getting down to stop Kareem Tunde's long range effort. Espanyol limited Levante to only two shots on target, and Dmitrovic's handling helped them protect the draw late. Dmitrovic will look to build on that performance against Girona on Friday.

Suffers setback from knee injury Puado was substituted a few minutes after coming off bench in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Levante after suffering with heavy pain to the same knee that ruled him out for three months...

Impact Puado suffered a setback to his knee injury in Sunday's draw against Levante following a challenge with an opponent. The forward came off the bench for a few minutes before being forced off and heading directly to the locker room to receive treatment. The extent of that setback remains unknown, yet given its significance and the fact he missed the last three months with an injury to the same knee, it is likely the attacker will miss additional time in the coming weeks.
