Impact Romero's absence will extend beyond the November international break's final round of fixtures after a quadriceps injury sustained against Barcelona on Oct. 10 disrupted his season. The center-back had initially been approaching a comeback before suffering a setback during rehabilitation, forcing him to delay his return despite recently resuming collective training. He was unavailable for Thursday's Conference League encounter against Brighton, and the limited time between fixtures has prevented him from recovering sufficiently to face Villarreal. Romero had started every match in which he was available before sustaining the injury, making his continued absence significant for Getafe's defensive rotation.

Impact Romero will miss another competitive fixture as he continues working toward full fitness after suffering a quadriceps injury against Barcelona on Oct. 10. The center-back initially appeared close to returning last week but experienced a setback during rehabilitation, delaying his comeback. Although he resumed training with the group Wednesday, the limited preparation time has prevented him from being ready for Thursday's European encounter. His continued absence represents a setback for Getafe, with Romero having started every match in which he was available before sustaining the injury. The defender remains an important part of coach Jose Bordalas' defensive setup, and his return to collective training suggests he is making progress toward regaining match fitness.

Impact Romero picked up a quadriceps injury against Barcelona on Oct. 10 and looked close to a return last week before suffering a relapse during a rehab session. He is now back with the group, but Bordalas refused to commit to him for Thursday's Conference League match against Brighton. Before the injury, he had started every game for Getafe and was one of the most important players in their back line. His return is a huge boost for the club, even if it only comes from the bench against Brighton on Thursday at first.

Kylian Mbappé has scored again as Real Madrid won 3-0 at Racing Santander to keep pace with Spanish leader Barcelona

David Soria - Three saves in win Soria registered three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 3-1 win versus Sevilla.

Impact Soria faced four shots and stopped three of them. Kike Salas denied him the clean sheet during Sunday's win, but he still stood tall and earned all three points. The goalkeeper was excellent throughout the match, and once Sevilla had someone sent off it seemed like the match was well and truly out of reach as Soria just walked to three points.

Orel Mangala - Nets rare goal Mangala scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Sevilla.

Impact Mangala took a single shot and found the back of the net during Sunday's win. The midfielder isn't going to be any sort of consistent offensive threat, but that doesn't mean the goal during Sunday's win is any less of a boon for him. Mangala will likely be a low-upside option in most matches moving forward though.

Enes Unal - Goal, assist Sunday Unal scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Sunday's 3-1 victory against Sevilla.

Impact Unal was on the scoresheet as a finisher and creator during Sunday's win over Sevilla. The forward made the difference in a big way as he proved to be too much to handle for the Sevilla backline. It was an excellent showing from the entirety of the attack, and Unal got involved in a big way. He will hope to build off this showing before the international break.

Martin Satriano - Goal, assist in win Satriano scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and one chance created in Sunday's 3-1 win against Sevilla.

Impact Satriano scored and assisted during Sunday's rout. The forward was brilliant in all aspects of the match, finishing nicely and adding a chance created. It was an impressive all-around performance against a team that could have been a tough opponent. Satriano is finding form at a busy part of the schedule and seems to be flying high.

Johan Mojica - Returns from suspension Mojica has completed his one-match ban for yellow card accumulation during Sunday's La Liga encounter against Sevilla and will be available for the Nov. 8 clash against Villarreal.

Impact Mojica was forced to miss the Sevilla fixture after collecting his fifth yellow card of the season during Getafe's 4-0 defeat against Athletic Club. The Colombian defender had been a regular option on the left side of defense before his suspension, with Davinchi providing cover in his absence. Mojica can now compete for a return to the starting XI against Villarreal, strengthening Getafe's options at left-back.

Mario Martin - Eligible to return against Villarreal Martin has served his one-match suspension during Sunday's La Liga clash against Sevilla and is eligible to return against Villarreal on Nov. 8.

Impact Martin completed his suspension after receiving a straight red card in the 86th minute of Getafe's previous encounter against Athletic Club. The midfielder was dismissed for a late challenge on Benat Gerenabarrena, forcing him to sit out Sunday's fixture against Sevilla. His return gives Getafe another option in central midfield ahead of the Villarreal matchup, although his involvement will depend on selection decisions.

Impact Romero continues to make progress in his recovery from the injury he sustained against Barcelona but has yet to receive clearance to return to competitive action. The Argentine center-back resumed team training Wednesday after missing several fixtures, although the coaching staff remains cautious about rushing him back. Romero started all seven of his La Liga appearances before the setback, establishing himself as a regular presence in Getafe's defensive lineup. Abdelkabir Abqar remains an alternative in central defense while Romero completes his recovery, with no definitive timetable established for his return to the matchday squad.

Orel Mangala - Scores in return to action Mangala (undisclosed) came off the bench for the second half and scored a goal in Thursday's Copa del Rey win over Lebrijana.

Impact Mangala had a solid 45-minute outing after replacing Alberto Risco in the cup match. The central midfielder, who had been sidelined for three weeks due to a muscular problem, will likely see minutes in league play as well during the next few games. In that case, he'll be in contention with Francho Serrano and Nemanja Gudelj, looking to improve on his season totals of 14 interceptions and five tackles in seven appearances.

Impact Mangala is approaching full fitness after missing recent matches due to a muscular injury, including Sunday's La Liga encounter against Athletic Club. The midfielder trained Wednesday and could be included in Thursday's cup squad, although his participation will depend on a final assessment of his fitness and workload. A substitute appearance appears possible as Getafe looks to ease him back into competitive action. Once fully fit, Mangala will compete with Ramon Terrats for playing time in central midfield.

Impact Romero is nearing a return from the left quadriceps injury he sustained against Barcelona, having missed Getafe's recent matches, including Sunday's encounter against Athletic Club. The Argentine center-back has resumed team training and could receive minutes against Lebrijana, although a starting role remains uncertain. He has started all seven of his La Liga appearances this season, and his return would strengthen Getafe's defensive rotation. Abdelkabir Abqar remains an alternative in central defense if Romero is not ready to start.

Impact Mojica picked up his fifth booking of the La Liga campaign during Sunday's heavy defeat against Athletic Club, ruling him out of the upcoming encounter against Sevilla. The Colombian left-back recorded five crosses (one accurate) and three corners before being substituted in the 71st minute. Davinchi is expected to replace him in the starting XI against Sevilla, providing Getafe with an alternative on the left side of defense. Mojica will be eligible to return for the Nov. 8 clash against Villarreal.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Johan Mojica - Cannot connect with teammates Mojica registered five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 4-0 loss to Athletic. He was subbed off due to injury in the 71st minute.

Impact Mojica's service wasn't particularly great as only one of his five crosses was accurate, and that largely contributed to a poor showing from side. If he can be more accurate, he'll have a great chance at more success against a Sevilla side that has allowed 16 goals through nine LaLiga matches this season.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

David Soria - Allows four in rout Soria had no saves and allowed four goals in Sunday's 4-0 loss versus Athletic.

Impact Soria did not make a single save but did face plenty of bombardment in a four-goal loss on Sunday. He will face enough firepower in the next match when Sevilla, a team that has 14 goals through nine LaLiga games, face Getafe.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Djene - Available again Dakonam is an option again for his club after serving a suspension.

Impact Dakonam was out for Sunday's match due to a one-match ban, but is now back in the fold, with the defender an option for play in future games. He is their lead center-back, so this is a major return, likely to start immediately. He has recorded one clean sheet in his nine appearances (nine starts) this campaign.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Mario Martin - Sent off against Athletic Club Martin was sent off in the 86th minute of Sunday's La Liga clash against Athletic Club after receiving a straight red card.

Impact Martin received a straight red card in the 86th minute after arriving late to a challenge and stepping on Benat Gerenabarrena following a clearance. The dismissal will result in a suspension of at least one match, ruling the midfielder out of Sunday's home fixture against Sevilla. The final length of his suspension remains subject to the disciplinary committee's decision, with the possibility of additional matches being added. His absence leaves coach Jose Bordalas with one fewer option in central midfield for the upcoming league encounter.

Zaid Romero - Ruled out against Athletic Club Romero (quad) will miss Sunday's La Liga clash against Athletic Club as he remains in the final stages of his recovery from a left quadriceps injury, according to coach Jose Bordal...

Impact Romero remains unavailable for Sunday's encounter against Athletic Club despite making encouraging progress in his rehabilitation from a left quadriceps injury sustained against Barcelona. The Argentine center-back was forced off during the first half of that match and has since been working toward regaining full fitness, recently resuming individual ball exercises Wednesday. Although Getafe had hoped to have him available this weekend, Bordalas confirmed that he still needs additional recovery time before returning to competitive action. Romero has started all seven of his La Liga appearances this season, making his continued absence a significant blow to Getafe's defensive setup. Abdelkabir Abqar could continue providing cover in central defense, while Romero will aim to resume full team training in the coming days. His availability for the next fixture remains uncertain, although he appears to be approaching the end of his rehabilitation.

Impact Mangala will remain sidelined for Sunday's encounter against Athletic Club as he continues recovering from the muscular issue that has kept him out of recent matches. The midfielder had initially been expected to return in time for the fixture, but Bordalas confirmed that he is not yet ready to resume competitive action despite making encouraging progress in his rehabilitation. His recovery appears to be nearing completion, suggesting he could return to team training and potentially become available for selection in the coming days, although no definitive timetable has been established. Mangala joined Getafe on loan from Lyon through the end of the season and is expected to compete for playing time in central midfield alongside Ramon Terrats once fully fit. His continued absence limits Getafe's midfield options, but the latest update suggests he is moving closer to making his return.

Enes Unal - Available for Athletic clash Unal (ankle) is available for Sunday's La Liga clash against Athletic Club after returning to full training, according to coach Jose Bordalas. "He trained normally and will be ther...

Impact Unal has avoided a significant injury setback after sustaining a painful ankle knock during Thursday's Conference League defeat to Lugano. The Turkish forward was caught by a heavy challenge and appeared to be limping afterward, raising concerns about his availability just days after returning from a separate muscular issue. However, his participation in Saturday's training session without restrictions suggests he has recovered sufficiently to feature against Athletic Club. Unal should therefore be an option for Sunday's encounter, although his recent fitness problems could lead coach Bordalas to manage his minutes carefully. Martin Satriano remains a strong candidate to lead the attack, while Ivan Azon and Borja Mayoral provide additional competition for places up front.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Enes Unal - Twists ankle, ends game in pain Unal took a very hard tackle to his ankle and was seen limping after Thursday's Conference League loss to Lugano, Sphera Sports Getafe reports.

Impact Unal is questionable once again shortly after making his return from a muscle issue. If the forward is dealing with a significant injury, he'll be expected to sit out at least a couple of games. Still, he'll hope to take advantage of the few rest days before Sunday's visit to Athletic and avoid a major problem. Martin Satriano would be the safest forward pick on the squad, with Ivan Azon and Borja Mayoral offering alternatives in Unal's potential absence.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Satriano - Scores in 1-1 draw Satriano scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Satriano helped his side come from behind to draw 1-1 despite his team being down to 10 men for a majority of the match. He returned to the starting lineup having been on the bench in the last game. The wide player scored his second goal of the season, having also provided an assist this season. He took four shots for the first time this season and with three on target, it was his first time putting more than one shot on goal.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

David Soria - Four saves in 1-1 draw Soria recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Soria was able to make four saves as he helped his side to a 1-1 draw despite a first-half red card. The keeper has kept two clean sheets this season and this is the fourth game in a row that he has made four saves or more in a match.
