Paulo Gazzaniga - Unable to prevent relegation Gazzaniga registered no saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Elche.

Impact Gazzaniga made no saves but was ultimately helpless in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Elche, a result that confirmed Girona's relegation to the Segunda Division. The Argentine goalkeeper was beaten in the first half by Alvaro Rodriguez's composed finish before watching his side chase an equalizer for the remainder of the match without finding the second goal they desperately needed. Gazzaniga distributed calmly throughout the contest and commanded his area well on set-piece situations as Elche defended deep and surrendered possession to protect their survival advantage. He ends the 2025-26 La Liga season with six clean sheets, 116 saves and 47 goals conceded across 35 appearances, concluding a personally solid campaign despite the collective disappointment of relegation.

Alejandro Frances - Option off bench Saturday Frances (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's season finale against Elche.

Impact Frances has been included in the squad after the club's assessment of his response to treatment returned a sufficiently positive outcome, with coach Michel Sanchez opting for a cautious approach by keeping him among the substitutes despite the possibility of a pain-killing infiltration having been raised ahead of the crucial relegation battle finale. The defender has contributed two assists, 25 tackles, 15 interceptions and 60 clearances across 24 La Liga appearances this season, and his presence on the bench is a better outcome than the continued discomfort had suggested in the days prior.

Impact Gil had raised some concern after requesting to come off mid-match, but his absence from the injury report ahead of Saturday's season finale against Elche is a clean bill of health confirming there is no lasting issue.

Bryan Gil - Withdraws after discomfort Gil was forced off and requested a substitution in the 56th minute of Sunday's clash against Atletico Madrid after feeling discomfort.

Impact Gil was lively throughout his time on the pitch, registering three shots before requesting to come off in the 56th minute after feeling discomfort. The winger had started the last two games and will now be assessed to determine the severity of the issue ahead of the crucial relegation battle against Elche. Should he fail to recover in time Viktor Tsygankov is likely to return to his usual position on the right.

Azzedine Ounahi - Lacking end product Ounahi took five shots (three on goal), crossed seven times (three accurate) and created three chances during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Ounahi was held off the scoresheet despite leading Girona in shots, crosses and chances created during the defeat. The versatile Ounahi has combined for 10 shots, eight chances created and 11 crosses over his last three starts but hasn't had a goal involvement since April 21st.

Impact Gazzaniga allowed the lone goal of the match in the 21st minute as Girona dropped all three points Sunday. The keeper has allowed a goal in each of his last three starts while combining for eight saves over that stretch. Girona end the season with a home clash against Elche on Saturday.

Impact Frances, who had been preferred over Daley Blind in each of the last three games, was forced off in the 86th minute with physical discomfort, leaving Girona down to ten men for the closing stages.

Donny Van De Beek - Back available for Atletico clash van de Beek (Achilles) has been cleared and is available for Sunday's clash against Atletico, the club posted.

Impact van de Beek had been ruled out for the time being despite returning to team training in recent weeks, making his clearance for the two final fixtures of the season a welcome development for Girona. The Dutch midfielder's availability gives coach Michel Sanchez another midfield option to call upon for what is one of the most significant remaining fixtures of the campaign as Girona are still fighting to avoid relegation to Segunda Division.

Thomas Lemar - Solid service off the bench Lemar had five crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad.

Impact Lemar had three accurate crosses in five attempts and perhaps could've helped Girona more had he been deployed earlier. The midfielder should be a factor off the bench to create a spark against Atletico Madrid, a side which has only given up 39 goals in La Liga play.

Viktor Tsygankov - Stellar all-around showing Tsygankov recorded five shots (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad.

Impact Tsygankov had solid service but ultimately did not cut it with his shots, putting only one of his five attempts on target. He will be instrumental in Girona trying to take points off Atletico Madrid, a side which has locked up a UCL spot for next year and has allowed just 39 goals this season. Tsygankov should have volume but efficiency will matter more for him to register meaningful numbers in a tough matchup.

Alejandro Frances - Doesn't threaten offensively Frances had five shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus Real Sociedad. In addition, he was given a yellow card in th...

Impact Frances didn't put any of his shots on the target and had one accurate cross of his four, so he contributed little to Girona's push forward for goals. The defender will need to be more efficient to help Girona break down an Atletico Madrid side which has given up the fourth-fewest goals in La Liga this season.

Joel Roca - Wasteful in front of goal Roca generated eight shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad. In addition, he was given a yellow card...

Impact Only one of Roca's eight shots was on frame, and he didn't manage a single accurate cross in a disastrous showing offensively. It won't get any easier for the midfielder against Atletico Madrid, a strong defensive side which has only conceded 39 goals in 36 domestic games.

MAY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Cristhian Stuani - Nets equalizer off the bench Stuani scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad.

Impact Stuani didn't have strong volume but he was the beneficiary of Girona's push forward for much of the game with an equalizing goal. He'll likely be asked to create a spark off the bench against Atletico Madrid but it's a tough matchup as the side has only allowed 39 goals in 36 La Liga contests this season.
