Logs nine crosses in loss Navas created one chance from nine crosses (four accurate) during Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Navas missed the last two matches due to a fatigue-induced groin problem before returning Wednesday. He could have been a little more clinical with his passes, but was less of a problem than other players who had their matches cut short by poor performances. In five of his last six matches between league and UCL fixtures, Navas has logged at least five crosses and created one chance. He'll take that solid record into the next match against Osasuna, which have conceded the fifth-most crosses to defenders in La Liga.

Starting against Dortmund Navas (groin) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Navas gets the immediate start Wednesday despite missing the last two weeks with a groin injury. The hope is that he doesn't suffer a recurrence of the injury, but it's best to assume he didn't return too early. He's in his usual right-back role, which usually produces multiple crosses, replacing Aleix Vidal against Dortmund.

Makes squad list for Wednesday Navas (groin) is in the squad list for Wednesday's match against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Navas is in the squad list for Wednesday's match after training the day prior, but starting in his first match back from a groin injury is still a tall task. That said, he's a player who never seems to be on the bench even when returning from injury, so there's a decent chance he gets the start over Aleix Vidal at right-back against Dortmund.

Trains Tuesday Navas (groin) participated in Tuesday's training session and will be a late decision ahead of Wednesday's match against Borussia Dortmund, according to manager Julen Lopetegui.

Impact Navas missed the last two league matches with a nagging groin issue but was a full participant in training the day before his next game. If fit enough to play, he would take back his starting spot from Aleix Vidal, who may still start in Monday's match against Osasuna in an effort to keep Navas fresh in a busy section of the schedule.

Likely out Saturday Navas (groin) is expected to miss Saturday's match against Huesca, according to Basilio Garcia of El Desmarque.

Impact Navas missed a league and cup match over the last week and missing training the day before a match is seldom a good sign for one's fitness. Aleix Vidal will likely make another start Saturday and Navas will focus on recovering in time for Wednesday's UCL match against Borussia Dortmund.

To miss midweek match Navas (groin) will miss Wednesday's Copa del Rey match against Barcelona, according to manager Julen Lopetegui.

Impact Navas isn't necessarily unable to play but at age 35 the rigors of this season have been hard to handle. His status is still unclear for either Saturday's match against Huesca or the following Wednesday's match against Borussia Dortmund, and Aleix Vidal will likely start whenever Navas can't.

Misses training Navas missed Monday's training session due to a groin issue, according to Diario de Sevilla.

Impact Navas missed the 3-0 win over Getafe and is still working his way back to full fitness. Aleix Vidal replaced Navas in the lineup for Saturday's match and could stay in that spot if needed in the next match against Huesca.

Game time decision Navas (undisclosed) didn't participate in Friday's morning training session and a decision will be made on his status just before Saturday's match against Getafe, according to mana...

Impact Navas hasn't been able to work at full speed all week and this seems like a good chance to give him some rest even if he's fit enough to start. Aleix Vidal has stepped up his efforts in recent weeks and will deputize for Navas if he's unable to play or limited in his minutes.

Misses training Navas (undisclosed) missed Thursday's training session, according to Diario de Sevilla.

Impact Navas also missed the midweek Copa del Rey match against Almeria so his status is in doubt for Saturday's match against Getafe. If he's unable to play, Aleix Vidal could make his first start in nearly two months.

Available Saturday Navas made the squad list for Saturday's trip to Eibar.

Impact Navas picked up a knock during a midweek Copa del Rey match but it never seemed likely that he would be ruled out for the weekend. In this match at Eibar, he'll face a defense that has conceded the fourth-fewest crosses to defenders in the league.

Suffers hip injury, not ruled out Navas suffered a hip injury during Wednesday's Copa del Rey success over Valencia and will undergo tests during Thursday afternoon to determine if he can play Saturday at Eibar, ac...

Impact Navas taking a knock initially caused some fear since he's already dealt with another muscular injury this season but the first reports suggest that he shouldn't be out for very long. If Navas is truly unable to play Saturday, Aleix Vidal would be the likely candidate to start at right-back.

Logs assist in win Navas provided one assist from two chances created and conceded a yellow card during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Navas ranks 13th in the league in crosses per 90 minutes but ranks even higher among those who are consistently in their starting lineup. Even with this in mind, it's certainly worth expecting more assists than the four he's logged as only one has come from his last nine matches. He'll at least be able to keep up his usual production against Cadiz, which have conceded the second-most crosses in the league to defenders.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Sends six crosses in 2-0 defeat Navas had six crosses (none accurate), three interceptions, two clearances and three dispossessions in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Navas hasn't had a goal or an assist since November and has only added one clean sheet in that span. He's been very productive though in peripheral stats on both sides of the ball. Eight chances created, 33 crosses and nine tackles over his past six outings still give him plenty of upside in some formats.

Provides eight crosses in victory Navas (groin) provided eight crosses (three accurate), two tackles (both won) and one created chance during Saturday's 3-2 win over Real Sociedad.

Impact Navas returned from a minor muscle injury and was his usual productive self both in terms of crosses and defensive contributions. He appears to be at full health now and should keep his place in the lineup Tuesday against Atletico Madrid.

Doesn't train Monday Navas didn't participate in Monday's training session due to a knock but is no longer injured, according to manager Julen Lopetegui.

Impact Navas is getting to the point in his season where he needs a little more rest after matches, so one can only hope that the story does not change tomorrow. Over his last two matches, Navas has created one chance from five crosses and will need the rest heading into a tough match against Real Sociedad.

Wins two tackles in draw Navas won two-of-two talkies and provided two inaccurate crosses during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Real Betis.

Impact Navas has won four tackles and conceded just one goal over his last two matches but not provided the usual attacking work that boosts his value to a slightly better place. He'll next face Real Sociedad, which concedes a high rate of crosses to defenders but also hold one of the best attacks in La Liga.

Fine defensive effort in shutout Navas provided three inaccurate crosses, two tackles won and two interceptions while helping keep a clean sheet during Tuesday's 2-0 win over Villarreal.

Impact Navas created one chance but wasn't quite as active as he usually is at the offensive end. He made up for it with a solid defensive effort en route to a clean sheet and will look to continue his fine two-way play against Real Betis on Saturday.

Creates three chances in win Navas created three chances from six crosses (three accurate) in 69 minutes of Tuesday's 1-0 win over Valencia.

Impact Navas put in a good shift and still had time to get some rest after playing the full 90 the Saturday before this match against Real Valladolid. With a full week to train, Navas should put himself in good shape to play well for a tough test against Villarreal.

Logs six crosses in draw Navas created two chances from six crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Real Valladolid.

Impact Navas skipped the last league match to get some rest after starting the first 11 matches of the season. Upon his return, he did well enough to show that his value remains steady, although some better defensive performances could improve things even more. He'll next face Valencia, which have conceded the most crosses in the league to defenders.

Back in training Navas (strain) returned to training on Friday and should be in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Real Valladolid, according to Diario de Sevilla.

Impact Little information was revealed about Navas over the past two weeks as he missed two straight matches with what turned out to be a muscular injury. Given his full participation in Friday's training session, it's safe to assume that he should be in the lineup on Saturday.

DECEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Out Saturday Navas (rest) didn't make the traveling roster for Saturday's match against Getafe.

Impact Navas has missed just two matches all season and through the combination of a shortened offseason and a condensed schedule, it became necessary to give him some time to rest. Unless something else comes up, Navas should only miss this one league match while resting and Jules Kounde will take over at right-back.

DECEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

In doubt Saturday Navas "needs rest" and is a doubt for Saturday's match against Getafe, according to Sporting Director Monchi via Diario de Sevilla.

Impact The news on Navas has seemingly changed every day of the week but the end result is still the same, which is Navas missing training and a UCL match in order to rest. If Navas doesn't make the squad list, Jules Kounde could spend another match as the starting right-back against Getafe.

DECEMBER 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Could be injured Navas isn't available for Tuesday's match at Rennes and it could be due to a new injury, according to manager Julen Lopetegui via Diario de Sevilla.

Impact Little was announced about why Navas was out at first, but Tuesday's press conference by the manager shed a little more light on his absence, declaring that he was hopeful that Navas wouldn't be out for long. This match against Rennes has little bearing on their place in the next round of the Champions League, so a youngster like Juanlu could start in the place of Navas, and one would only hope more is disclosed about his health before Saturday's trip to Getafe.

Resting for UCL match Navas was left at home and didn't make the traveling roster for Tuesday's trip to Rennes.

Impact Navas is one of his club's most reliable players but even he needs to rest on occasion. With qualification to the next round of the Champions League secured and less of a chance of securing top spot in the group, Navas will miss his second group stage match of the season but should still play Saturday at Getafe.
