Julen Agirrezabala - Allows five against Celta Agirrezabala recorded four saves and allowed five goals in Saturday's 5-0 loss to Celta Vigo.

He will use the international break to reset, with their next match against Valencia on Oct. 11.

The goalkeeper has now made 26 saves while conceding 16 goals across six LaLiga appearances this season, and he remains without a clean sheet. He'll face Celta Vigo in Racing Santander's next match as he looks to improve that record.

Maguette Gueye - Scores in first start Gueye scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 7-2 defeat to Barcelona.

Impact Gueye cut Barcelona's lead to 2-1 after controlling a loose ball following Asier Villalibre's involvement, beating his marker before advancing toward goal and curling a right-footed finish into the bottom-left corner. The goal came in his first start of the season and provided an immediate reward for his opportunity in the starting XI, potentially strengthening his case for further starts.

Yassir Zabiri - Scores again in defeat Zabiri scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to Barcelona. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 60th minute.

Impact Zabiri took advantage of a mistake from Wojciech Szczesny, who lost possession while attempting to play out from the back, allowing the forward to recover the ball and finish from close range. The goal came with Racing trailing 4-1 and offered a brief response against Barcelona, while his six goals in six LaLiga matches underline his importance as Racing's main attacking threat.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Asier Villalibre - Delivers one assist Villalibre assisted once to go with an own goal in Wednesday's 7-2 loss against Barcelona.

Impact Villalibre contributed to both sides of the scoreline, assisting Maguette Gueye's goal before inadvertently turning Joao Cancelo's long-range effort into his own net in the 36th minute. His touch deflected the shot beyond his goalkeeper after Cancelo had unleashed from distance, giving Barcelona a 3-1 lead. The assist provided a positive contribution on his return to the XI, though Yassir Zabiri's six goals in six appearances leave Villalibre primarily as a backup option up front.

Andre Almeida - Suspension over Almeida is eligible once again after clearing his one-game ban in the midweek loss to Barcelona.

Impact Almeida will return to contention with Sergio Canales in the No. 10 spot, but he might see most of his minutes off the bench. The Valencia loanee has made only a couple of appearances during the 2026/27 season, with his impact limited to a few passes and tackles. He could still help as a creative force in favorable situations and when Canales has his playing time managed.

Impact Almeida joined Racing Santander on loan from Valencia this summer, looking for a clearer path to playing time after limited opportunities at his parent club, where he managed two assists in 22 appearances last season without a goal.

Simon Eriksson - Diagnosed with shoulder tendinopathy Eriksson has been diagnosed with tendinopathy in his right shoulder causing pain and functional impotence, following imaging tests conducted after weeks of discomfort, and is ruled...
