Concedes yellow card in win Nacho conceded a yellow card and made three interceptions during Saturday's 3-1 win over Celta Vigo.
Impact Nacho stayed in the starting lineup after Sergio Ramos picked up a sprained ankle just before this match. By conceding two slow cards and eight fouls over his last three starts, Nacho isn't necessarily the most valuable, but he's also done well defensively and tends to put up consistent fantasy numbers. If he can help his team keep their first clean sheet in six matches, that would be a nicer boost to his relatively average numbers. Up next is a match against Eibar, which have scored the second-fewest goals in La Liga.

Keeps another clean sheet Nacho kept a clean sheet with three interceptions made during Sunday's 2-0 win over Valencia.
Impact Nacho has started each of the last three matches while Sergio Ramos (knee) began his absence and has done well with two straight clean sheets. While his production of defensive stats isn't as high, Nacho will still have some value if he earns more shutouts. Up next is a trip to Valladolid, which have scored 22 goals in 23 matches and have been shout nine times this season.

Returns to training Nacho participated in Thursday's training session.
Impact Nacho completed his isolation period after a positive COVID-19 test before making his return Thursday. Since Dani Carvajal (undisclosed) still hasn't recovered from his own knock, Nacho has a good chance of starting in Saturday's trip to Huesca. However, because Nacho will have only had a couple of days of training, Alvaro Odriozola could be handed another start.

Tests positive for COVID-19 Nacho has tested positive for COVID-19, his club announced Tuesday.
Impact Nacho was already in quarantine due to protocol and now won't be allowed to leave since a positive test has been returned. He could return by the Feb. 6 trip to Huesca at the earliest and his absence will be filled by Eder Militao or Sergio Ramos (knee) when he returns to full fitness. For Nacho, he's only made one appearance since Dec. 5 and doesn't get many chances to play in a team that seldom chooses to rotate its starting lineup.

Stuck in quarantine Nacho is currently in quarantine as a part of COVID-19 protocol and won't be available for Saturday's match against Deportivo Alaves, according to Arancha Rodriguez of Cope.
Impact Nacho last played during the Super Cup loss to Athletic Club on Jan. 14 and this news forces another absence just before the team travels north for Saturday's game. With Sergio Ramos (knee) dealing with an injury, Eder Militao has an even higher chance of starting this match.

Earns clean sheet in rare start Nacho had a clean sheet, three tackles (one won), two interceptions, two blocked shots, four clearances and a yellow card in Saturday's 2-0 win over Celta.
Impact Nacho was very solid defensively and held a clean sheet in his first start in nearly a month now. Sergio Ramos should be back in the lineup next week though and the former could be back on the bench very quickly.

Busy against Inter Nacho had three clearances, won ten duels and three of five tackles and drew two fouls in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Inter.
Impact Nacho filled in for Sergio Ramos and put up the best numbers out of any Real Madrid defender in this one. He will continue to see minutes for as long as the start teammates is sidelined. Real Madrid will face Alaves at home Saturday.

Starting against Villarreal Nacho (calf) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Villarreal.
Impact Nacho makes an immediate return to the starting XI Saturday after missing the last month with a calf injury. He takes over for Sergio Ramos in what should be a difficult matchup for a back line that's struggled to limit opponents this season.

Trains without problems Nacho completed Tuesday's training session with the team and without limitations, according to Manu de Juan of AS.
Impact Nacho is well on his way to being match-fit after spending what will be nearly a month on the sidelines. Since Dani Carvajal has also shown signs of improvement, the presence of both should kick Lucas Vazquez to the bench, although Nacho is still the second-choice right-back and unlikely to start immediately.

Improving fitness Nacho (calf) trained on grass Friday.
Impact Nacho has missed the last three matches after suffering an injury Oct. 24 against Barcelona. Getting onto a proper field is a good sign for Nacho, although it seems unlikely that he'll play in a competitive match until after the international break. In the mean time, continue to expect Lucas Vazquez to start at right-back.

Comes off early against Barca Nacho subbed off in the 41st minute of Saturday's match against Barcelona with a thigh problem. He was replaced by Lucas Vazquez.
Impact Nacho was making his third start of the season but didn't last past halftime in El Clasico. This injury, if serious, would leave a big hole at right-back for Los Blancos, which are also without Dani Carvajal (knee) and Alvaro Odriozola (calf). The next match on the schedule is a UCL trip to Borussia Monchengladbach, which will leave Nacho little time to evaluate the situation.
