Returns from injury Fali Jimenez completed two passes in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Mallorca.

Impact Jimenez returned from injury (undisclosed) but had very little contribution to the match on Saturday. He is a decent defender option with 40 clearances thus far. In his previous five games he has totaled 22 clearances and four blocks. The Spaniard should return back to the starting XI once he is fully fit to play a 90-minute match.

Starting Friday Fali (undisclosed) will feature in the starting XI versus Valencia on Friday.

Impact Fali will make his fifth straight appearance in the starting XI, shaking off the undisclosed injury that was plaguing him in the lead-up.

Named to traveling squad Fali (undisclosed) was included in the squad list ahead of Friday's clash with Valencia.

Impact Fali started each of his previous four contests, in which he generated 12 clearances, seven tackles (two won) and four blocks, so he should be in contention to start Friday. Still, even if he does feature, Fali won't offer more than mid-range fantasy value, at best, given his limited offensive upside.

Plays first half in draw Jimenez played for the first half of Saturday's scoreless draw with Getafe.

Impact Jimenez has started in three of the last four matches, getting a bigger role of late as Victor Chust struggles with his fitness ahead of the World Cup. With starts in six of his seven appearances, Jimenez is certainly a capable member of the squad whenever called upon.

Available for selection Jimenez (undisclosed) made the squad list for Saturday's match against Villarreal.

Impact Jimenez hasn't played in three straight games, two of which he spent on the bench. He could just be falling out of favor after starting three consecutive matches to open the season, so Luis Hernandez and Victor Chust are names to look for in the lineup.

Doesn't make squad list Jimenez didn't make the squad list for Friday's match against Valladolid due to undisclosed reasons.

Impact Jimenez was left on the bench in each of the last two matches and may just not be favored to play at the moment. Given that he can play in both midfield and in defense, there isn't room for Jimenez in the lineup now that Jose Mari is in the side and with Victor Chust regularly starting.

Makes clearance in season finale Fali made a clearance in last weekend's 1-0 victory against Alaves.

Impact Fali ends the season with two clean sheets and two assists in 28 La Liga appearances (23 starts). The 28-year-old played a bit in defensive midfield around September-October, but for the most part he was competing with Victor Chust for the center back spot alongside Luis Hernandez.

Active off bench Jimenez put two shots off target and created one chance in 35 minutes of Thursday's 3-2 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact While his typical role is to defend, a red card for the visitors gave Jimenez a chance to attack for most of his time on the pitch against a side a man down. That resulted in him ringing the bar thanks to a curling strike and he was unfortunate not to find the net as well, though it was still worth noting how close Jimenez came to changing the game. Overall, he's started just once in the last seven matches and will hope to return to the lineup against Sevilla.

Available Saturday Fali (undisclosed) is in the initial squad list for Saturday's clash with Getafe.

Non-serious injury Jimenez (undisclosed) underwent multiple tests to determine the extent of the injury he picked up during Thursday's clash with Barcelona.

Impact Jimenez's tests came back negative, ruling out a serious injury, but the club still needs to wait a week to decide the extent of the injury.
