Bench option for second half of season Montoro was not involved in any of Granada's final three games of the season.

Impact Montoro made 24 La Liga appearances (13 assists) this season from midfield, tallying a goal and an assist in the competition, but the 33-year-old's playing time faded drastically when Alex Collado joined on-loan from Barcelona in January.

Back in squad Montoro (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Montoro is back from injury after the break, having missed the last three league matches with a calf issue. He's started nine matches this season and figures to return to the XI in the coming weeks, having produced one goal and one assist in 15 appearances.

Out against Mallorca Montoro has suffered a calf injury and will be out until January, Granada manager Robert Moreno confirmed Saturday.

Impact Montoro hasn't started in La Liga since November after suffering this calf injury, and he suffered a setback after appearing off the bench against Cadiz last week. He is expected to miss the upcoming matches against Mallorca and Atletico Madrid in hopes of being fit by the new year.

Logs assist off bench Montoro provided one assist from three chances created during the second half of Monday's 1-1 draw with Cadiz.

Impact Montoro set up Jorge Molina's late equalizer to earn their side a point on the road. Coming back from a suspension, Montoro wasn't given the chance to start but he still made a quality impact where he could. He'll next face Mallorca, which are tied for the third-most goals conceded to midfielders in La Liga.

Completes suspension Montoro completed his one-match suspension during Friday's 2-1 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Montoro has started in nine of his 14 appearances this season but his complete absence gave Luis Milla a chance to return from a knee injury. With Montoro unable to start each week and Milla struggling to stay healthy long-term, both are likely to get their chances to play, though this makes their value harder to pin down over time. Up next is a trip to Cadiz.

Concedes fifth yellow in draw Montoro made six tackles (four won) and conceded his fifth yellow card during Friday's 2-2 draw with Athletic Club. As a result of the booking, he'll be suspended for Friday's matc...

Impact Montoro put up his best defensive numbers of the season and logged two accurate crosses in two tries but will now miss the next match thanks to a third booking in his last five games and fifth overall. While he's out until the Dec. 13 match at Cadiz, Monchu could return to the lineup upon returning from his own suspension.

Scores off bench in draw Montoro scored one goal on his only shot in seven minutes off the bench during Friday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.

Impact Montoro has bounced in and out of the lineup but made a major impact by scoring a late equalizer with some help from Luis Milla. Given how inconsistent his minutes are with just two starts in the last five games, Montoro may not be worth relying on just yet.

Logs eight crosses in loss Montoro created three chances from eight crosses (three accurate) and put one shot off target during Sunday's 4-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Montoro has created eight chances in three games despite only completing the full 90 once. If he can play this well even when his team doesn't score any goals, that's a good sign for his value if he can stay healthy. Up next is a visit from Real Betis after the international break.

Active in draw Montoro created three chances from four crosses (three accurate) and put one shot off target during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Valencia.

Impact Montoro also had a late goal ruled out by VAR in a much better performance during this home draw. Should he stay healthy, Montoro's role on set pieces and as a creator from deeper in the midfield should give him plenty of work to do. Up next is a trip to Rayo Vallecano.

Features in friendly Montoro appeared in Saturday's friendly against Linares.

Impact Montoro had tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the preseason but is now looking sharp before the campaign kicks off. When fit, Montoro should have plenty to offer as a starter for his team.

Tests positive for COVID-19 Montoro tested positive for COVID-19, his club announced Wednesday.

Impact Montoro can't seem to catch a break with his fitness and is now in isolation to start preseason. He should be good to go when the league campaign begins as long as nothing else arises and take on an important role as a passer from deep in the midfield.

JULY 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ends season with 22 appearances Montoro made 17 league starts from 22 appearances and contributed eight more in the Europa League this season.

Impact Montoro doesn't have much fantasy value as a deep-lying playmaker in a bad defensive team, but it was still a promising season as he made over 30 appearances across all competitions. If he can put together a healthy offseason, Montoro could have even more to offer in the coming campaign.

Out Sunday Montoro (muscular) will miss Sunday's match against Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Montoro subbed off early against Real Betis last week and hasn't been able to return just yet. If the injury is minor, there's still a chance we could see him before the end of the season, though his fantasy value isn't great in a team that doesn't generate many chances outside of direct counter-attacking opportunities.
