Nico Williams - Picks up sports hernia Williams is out for the time being due to a sports hernia, according to his club.

Impact Williams has hit the sidelines for the next few weeks, as the attacker has entered a program and is seeing a specialist due to a hernia. This will likely take him out of play for a few weeks, likely to remain out until March. That said, they will hope for the return of Alex Berenguer (undisclosed), otherwise Inaki Williams, Gorka Guruzeta and Nico Serrano will likely lead the attack.

Mikel Jauregizar - Avoids serious injury Jauregizar (undisclosed) has avoided any severe ligament damage or meniscus injuries and shouldn't miss much time, according to his club.

Impact Jauregizar was taken off the field just after the hour mark Sunday due to a fear of an injury. However, after some testing following the match, it appears he has avoided anything serious, prompting a quicker return. With the club facing Elche on Friday, he will need to train this week and make a quick turnaround to be an option, possibly still missing time.

Dani Vivian - Spotted in team training Vivian (thigh) resumed team training again Monday, according to Edu Velasco Jr from El Chiringuito.

Impact Vivian was back in full team training Monday and is closing in on a return to the matchday squad, with Friday's showdown against Elche firmly in sight. The center-back nearly made the cut last weekend and now looks even closer to suiting up against the Franjiverdes. A locked-in starter in the heart of the Basques' backline when healthy, Vivian could soon find himself in a real battle for minutes with Yeray Alvarez also on the verge of returning, Aymeric Laporte and Aitor Paredes, setting up serious competition for those two central spots.
