Alan Matturro - Delivers winning goal Matturro scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Friday's 3-2 victory versus Elche.

Impact Matturo filled in for Matias Moreno at center-back for the second consecutive game and delivered a strong performance at both ends. He scored the winning goal in the final minutes and contributed defensively with five clearances, one interception and a season-high five tackles. The performance could boost his chances of starting again, though Matias Moreno returned to the bench for this match.

Kareem Tunde - Out with stomach problem Tunde is out of Friday's game against Elche due to gastroenteritis, according to Eric Martin Gasulla of Las Provincias.

Matias Moreno - Makes bench Friday Moreno (undisclosed) is on the bench for Friday's game against Elche.

Impact Moreno passed a late fitness test and earned a spot on the bench, but he's presumably not ready to play a full 90. This means Alan Matturro will start alongside Adrian De La Fuente at center-back.

Oriol Rey - Available off bench Rey (undisclosed) is on the bench for Friday's game against Elche.

Impact Rey has earned a spot on the bench and should provide cover in midfield. That said, his fantasy impact is minimal as a defensive-minded player who rarely gets forward.

Oriol Rey - Seems out of plans Rey (undisclosed) was dealing with muscular fatigue but also seems out of the plans, according to coach Luis Castro in the press conference. "I don't talk about specific situations...

Impact Rey has been dealing with muscular fatigue since the arrival of the new coaching staff but the future of the midfielder at the club could also be questionned given the comments of coach Luis Castro in the presser. The coach seems not to be fully convinced by the midfielder and that will likely limit even more his playing time.

Matias Moreno - Late fitness call Moreno (fitness) is a late call for Friday's derby against Elche, coach Luis Castro said in the press conference. "Mati is training normally now, we will see if he is fit."

Impact Moreno is struggling with his fitness in recent weeks due to the change of the coaching staff but has resumed normally training this week. The defender will be a late fitness call and should resume a starting role for Levante once back fit.

Oriol Rey - Dealing with muscular fatigue Rey (undisclosed) missed Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Real Madrid due to muscular fatigue, according to Marca.

Impact Rey didn't feature in Saturday's clash against Real Madrid after dealing with muscular fatigue. New coach Luis Castro explained in the press conference that he changed the training methods at his arrival and raised the intensity, ruling out some players due to fitness issues, Rey being one of them. That said, his absence doesn't impact the starting squad since he is mainly a bench option for Levante.

Pablo Martinez - Five shots Saturday Martinez had five shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Real Madrid.

Impact Martinez took a season-high five shots Saturday, however he failed to put a single one on target. He also did not create a chance or record a cross, so it was ultimately a disappointing performance on the attack despite his high volume of shots.

Mathew Ryan - Concedes twice to Real Madrid Ryan recorded nine saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Real Madrid.

Impact Ryan conceded two goals for the ninth time this season Saturday, although this was still one of his best performances of the season. He made a season-high nine saves and conceded one goal on a Kylian Mbappe penalty, so the loss cannot really be pegged on him. He'll look for his fourth clean sheet of the season Friday versus Elche, a side which has scored 25 goals through 19 matches this season.
