Sees drop in minutes Escalante went unused off the bench in the club's last match against Granada on March 29.

Impact Escalante has seen a severe drop in playtime over the past month, as he went from being a regular starter for the majority of the season to now having gone unused off the bench over the club's past three matches. This most likely is due to the midfielder's lack of production in the attack this season, mainly contributing in the defense while only having two goal contributions, both being assists. He will hope to get back to his starting role by the end of the season, although it does not appear that is coming anytime soon, with Rominigue Kouame seemingly having taken over that role.
