JAVI PUADO NEWS

Nets first goal of season Javi Puado scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 tie against Elche.

Impact Puado got Espanyol on the board with an easy tap in for his first goal of the campaign. He got the start in left wing with Aleix Vidal getting some rest. The 24-year-old has only started in six out of 11 appearances thus far as he is typically not a regular starter for the team. He averages just 1.6 shots per match with a goal on 16 shots (five on target) on the year.

Takes two shots in loss Puado put two shots off target in 26 minutes of Friday's 2-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Puado made his season debut after overcoming a muscular injury. One can expect him to make the lineup soon after scoring four times and logging one assist in 30 appearances last season, and it'll be one of Nico Melamed or Ruben Sanchez who will make way when he is selected from kickoff.

On bench against Rayo Puado (strain) is in Espanyol's match day squad for Friday's clash against Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Puado missed last weekend's season-opening draw due to a muscular injury, but he's back in the squad on Friday and could see some playing time off the bench. He will want to break back into the starting lineup on the wings as soon as he's fully fit.

Likely to return Puado (strain) participated in Tuesday's training session and is expected to be available for Friday's match against Rayo Vallecano, according to La Grada.

Impact Puado missed the first game of the season against Celta Vigo but is now in line to play. Should he bit fit enough to start, Nico Melamed or Ruben Sanchez would have to make way from the lineup. With four goals and one assist in 30 appearances last season, Puado is a promising young player with plenty of potential if he can get onto the pitch soon.

To miss opener Puado (muscular) will miss Saturday's match at Celta Vigo.

Impact Puado had started missing friendlies later into the preseason and wasn't able to get back in time for this trip to Vigo. Now that he's out, Nico Melamed has a good chance of starting at forward or on the right wing as Raul de Tomas (undisclosed) is also out.

Avoiding risks Puado was left out of Thursday's friendly against RB Linense as a precaution, according to manager Diego Martinez via La Grada.

Impact Puado should be fine for the Aug. 13 opener against Celta Vigo but this is now a situation to track. He scored four goals and provided one assist over 30 appearances (26 starts) last season and should remain a key asset as long as he's fit.

Quiet in draw Puado put one shot off target during Sunday's scoreless draw with Granada.

Impact Puado scored four times in his first full season as a regular La Liga player but failed to find the net after March. Heading into the next campaign, he could be one to watch as a young player with plenty of room to grow still.

MAY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes one shot in draw Puado put one shot off target in 68 minutes of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Valencia.

Impact Puado hasn't found the net in any of the last eight games and this is despite getting more time on the forward line over the last month. He'll end the year against Granada, and with Raul de Tomas suspended, Puado will need to make a bigger impact.

MAY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suspended against Mallorca Puado will miss Sunday's clash against Mallorca with a suspension for yellow card accumulation.

Impact Puado picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in last weekend's draw against Levante, meaning he will be suspended for Sunday's game. Adrian Embarba could replace him on the right wing for the match.

MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nets for draw Puado scored once on one shot during Saturday's one-all draw with Levante.

Impact Puado scored once a smooth finish past Daniel Cardenas, his fourth goal of the season. The winger hasn't been a major fantasy option, but his consistent minutes make him a somewhat worthwhile play. He will hope to keep the goal-scoring going against Mallorca next time out.

MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs assist in loss Puado provided one assist from two chances created during Monday's 2-1 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Puado set up Tonny Vilhena for the game's first goal but couldn't make much of a dent after that. Though he's not the best option, Puado has been consistent with three goals and one assist in his last seven games, including five chances created in his last three starts. Up next is the derby against Barcelona, and Puado will hope to take advantage of Raul de Tomas returning from suspension.

FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores off bench Puado scored one goal from three shots (one on goal) in 29 minutes off the bench during Friday's 2-1 win over Valencia.

Impact Puado came off the bench for the first time in two months but still scored for the third time in three matches. One would hope that this goal would push him back into the lineup after scoring the winning goal, and Puado can look forward to a favorable matchup against Elche if he makes this happen.

Raúl de Tomás and Javi Puado scored late goals as Espanyol fought back to win 2-1 at 10-man Valencia and earn its first away win of the Spanish league season

Nets brace in win Puado scored two goals off four shots (two on target), created one chance and made two tackles (both won) and two interceptions during Saturday's 4-3 win over Levante.

Impact Puado wasn't very productive during the first half, but things changed for him after halftime. With his side down by one goal, the striker found the back of the net twice in 15 minutes to give Espanyol a 4-3 lead that wouldn't be relinquished. There wasn't a better moment for Puado to score his first two goals of the season and he'll try to keep adding to his account during Friday's visit to Celta Vigo.

Takes two shots in win Puado took two shots (one on goal) and created two chances in 78 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 win over Real Sociedad.

Impact Puado is starting to find a place in the lineup again after missing the middle weeks of the season and Sunday represented another step in the right direction. It could be worth tracking his progression over the next few games, as he'll first face a tougher matchup at Rayo Vallecano before meeting Levante and Celta Vigo.

Makes bench for opener Puado (muscular) is on the bench for Saturday's opener against Osasuna.

Impact Puado makes the squad for the opener after playing in the Olympics, though his role on the team is likely minimal heading into the season. That said, he just signed a new contract and could find a bigger role in the new campaign.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doubt for opener Puado is dealing with muscular issues and is listed as a doubt for Saturday's match at Osasuna, according to manager Vicente Moreno.

Impact Puado evidently returned from the Olympics hurt and despite training during the week, will be a late call as to whether or not he plays to open the season. Should he miss out, Lei Wu or Alvaro Vadillo could fill the gap on the wings.

AUGUST 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for season Puado participated in Tuesday's training session and is expected to be available in Saturday's trip to Osasuna, according to La Grada.

Impact Puado was with Spain during their run to the silver medal at the Olympics and could play a big role for Espanyol during their return to the first division. In 37 appearances last season, Puado scored 12 goals and provided eight assists in the second division.

AUGUST 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes three shots in win Puado put three shots off target during Sunday's 1-0 win over Australia.

Impact Puado made his first start of the tournament and did plenty to get involved, even if he wasn't as efficient in getting his efforts on frame. Given some of the solid performances from the bench and elsewhere in the lineup, Puado may not have as big of an influence in this tournament.

JULY 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Signs fresh contract Puado signed a contract extension through 2025 with Espanyol on Sunday.

Impact Puado is coming off a breakout season with 12 goals and eight assists while helping Espanyol return to the first division and he'll try to replicate that production with some job security to his name.
