Ruben Sanchez - Credited with assist in loss Sanchez assisted once to go with three crosses (three accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Getafe.

Impact Sanchez was active on the right flank and was the team's biggest creative threat, as evidenced by the four chances he created. This was his first assist of the season, and with just four starts across 14 league appearances, his fantasy appeal on paper looks minimal.

Marko Dmitrovic - Beaten twice in loss Dmitrovic registered two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Getafe.

Impact Dmitrovic was beaten twice in the first half, and both goals came from similar situations in which Espanyol defended poorly on set pieces. Dmitrovic has allowed multiple goals in all but one of his last 10 appearances, so he's far from being a reliable option in most fantasy formats.

Antoniu Roca - Trending toward return Roca (shoulder) is showing positive signs of recovery and was spotted back training with the team during Espanyol's first session during the international break, according to El 19...

Impact Roca picked up a shoulder dislocation in training that has kept him sidelined and eaten into his already limited role this season, with the 23-year-old homegrown winger logging just 108 minutes in La Liga. His return is unlikely to shake up the starting lineup given how little he has featured, but it does give coach Manolo Gonzalez an extra body to work with during the two-week international break as the White and Blues try to sort out a stretch of just three points from their last nine matches. Roca should be ready to go for the first fixture back for the break, a trip to Real Betis on April. 4.

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

Impact Milla picked up his fifth yellow card in La Liga play and will serve a one-match suspension for the next clash against Real Betis after the international break.

Charles Pickel - No longer suspended Pickel has ended his suspension and is an option moving forward.

Impact Pickel is returning to the team for the next outing, as the defender is back from a one-game ban. He has only started in four of his 17 appearances this season as he remains a depth option, likely to stick to this role in coming games

Antoniu Roca - Ruled out again Roca (shoulder) is ruled out again for the time being, according to coach Manolo Gonzalez.

Impact Roca returned to the bench in the last matchup against Mallorca but is still dealing with his shoulder issue and has been ruled out again for now.

In 28 matches this season, he has faced 136 shots while still managing seven clean sheets. However, he has now gone eight consecutive matches without one. His next fixture will be against Getafe, who sit just below Espanyol in the table in ninth, setting up a difficult and competitive matchup.

Charles Pickel - Receives red card Pickel was shown a red card in the 53rd minute of Sunday's match against Mallorca.

This will leave him out of a game, missing the March 21 match against Betis before returning after the break against Betis on April 5.

Impact Milla missed Saturday's team training session and is now a doubt for Sunday's clash against Mallorca. It remains unclear why the attacking midfielder was absent and whether he will make the squad for the match.

That's a welcome boost for the Catalans, even if he's expected to slot back into a bench role moving forward.

Charles Pickel - Clears suspension Pickel is an option for upcoming contests after serving his one-game ban Monday against Oviedo.

Impact Pickel has been a bench asset for most of the season, but he might get some minutes as a substitute now that he's available, offering an alternative to Pol Lozano and Urko Gonzalez in central midfield. However, Pickel has yet to score or assist in the 2025/26 campaign and may be reliable only for limited ball recovery stats without guaranteed playing time.

Edu Exposito - Back from ban Exposito is available again following his one-game league suspension due to yellow card accumulation.

Impact Exposito should quickly regain a starting role after being a key member of Espanyol's midfield throughout the season.

He'll likely be chosen over Ramon Terrats going forward.
