Julen Agirrezabala - Makes seven saves in away win Agirrezabala made seven saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Malaga. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 31st minute.

Impact Agirrezabala faced considerable pressure throughout the contest, with Malaga registering 16 shots and placing eight on target. The goalkeeper conceded to Carlos Dotor during the first half but prevented the hosts from extending their advantage, allowing Racing Santander to complete its comeback after the break. Racing's defensive woes limit Agirrezabala's upside, but he can be a solid streaming alternative in home games against low-end opposition.

Pablo Ramon Parra - Provides assist in comeback win Ramon assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Malaga.

Impact Ramon set up Iker Luque's 50th-minute equalizer, helping Racing Santander recover from a first-half deficit. Operating in defense, he also ventured forward during the second half and tested Alfonso Herrero with an attempt from inside the penalty area. This was his first assist of the season, and he's expected to continue delivering most of his value via defensive stats. He has 52 clearances, 23 tackles and 14 interceptions this season.

Yassir Zabiri - Scores winning goal Zabiri scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Malaga.

Impact Zabiri completed Racing Santander's comeback in the 60th minute, converting from inside the penalty area following a counterattack. The striker had already threatened the opposition goal earlier in the contest, testing Alfonso Herrero during the first half and remaining active in attacking situations. His ability to capitalize on a decisive opportunity reinforced his importance as the focal point of Racing's attack. With nine league goals this season, Zabiri continues to provide substantial scoring upside.

Julen Agirrezabala - Solid effort in loss Agirrezabala recorded five saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-0 loss against Real Madrid.

Impact Agirrezabala turned in a solid performance Sunday despite conceding three goals, making five saves and winning an aerial duel. It has been a challenging season for the goalkeeper, with an inexperienced back line contributing to 29 goals conceded in 11 league appearances. However, the defensive struggles have kept him busy, as he is averaging 2.6 saves per match while also recording 11 high claims this season.

Andres Martin - Diagnosed with hamstring tear Martin has been diagnosed with a muscle tear in his left hamstring after undergoing medical examinations following his absence from Sunday's La Liga clash against Real Madrid, with...

Impact Martin faces a spell on the sidelines after medical tests confirmed the extent of the muscular problem that prevented him from featuring against Real Madrid. The Racing Santander attacker had already missed the final two training sessions before Sunday's encounter, with the club initially describing his condition as muscular discomfort. Further examinations have now revealed a tear in his left hamstring, although Racing has not disclosed its severity or provided an estimated recovery period. His absence represents a setback for coach Jose Alberto, who will need to adjust his attacking options while the 27-year-old recovers. Andre Almeida could benefit from additional opportunities in the starting lineup, while Sergio Canales offers another alternative on the right flank.

Andres Martin - Ruled out against Real Madrid Martin (muscle) has been ruled out for Sunday's La Liga clash against Real Madrid after experiencing muscular discomfort that prevented him from participating in Friday's team trai...

Impact Martin will miss Sunday's encounter after failing to recover sufficiently from the muscle issue that disrupted his preparations for the fixture. The midfielder was initially considered questionable after sitting out Friday's group session, with the coaching staff planning to reassess his condition Saturday before making a final decision. His absence forces coach Jose Alberto to adjust his midfield and attacking options against Real Madrid, with Andre Almeida emerging as a potential replacement in the starting lineup. Sergio Canales could also shift to the right flank to accommodate the changes. The severity of Martin's injury remains unclear, and no timetable has been established for his return to competitive action.

Andres Martin - Doubtful for Real Madrid clash Martin did not train with the group Friday due to slight muscle discomfort and is a doubt for Sunday's game against Real Madrid, according to head coach Jose Alberto. "He has sligh...

Impact Martin's availability for Sunday's match against Real Madrid is uncertain after he missed Friday's group training with slight muscle discomfort. The coaching staff will evaluate his condition Saturday before deciding whether he can play, with Andre Almeida a potential replacement in the starting lineup and Sergio Canales likely to shift to the right flank if Martin is ruled out.

Simon Eriksson - Returns to matchday squad Eriksson (shoulder) was an unused substitute during Thursday's 2-0 Copa del Rey victory over Ribadesella CF after recovering from right shoulder tendinopathy.

Impact Eriksson has taken another step in his recovery from the shoulder issue that kept him sidelined since early September, earning his first matchday squad inclusion of the 2026/27 campaign. The Swedish goalkeeper resumed full training last week and worked alongside Julen Agirrezabala before returning to the bench Thursday. His availability provides Racing Santander with additional depth in goal ahead of Sunday's La Liga encounter against Real Madrid, although Agirrezabala remains the established first-choice goalkeeper. Eriksson is likely to retain a backup role as he works toward making his first competitive appearance of the season.

Simon Eriksson - Training with no limitations Eriksson (shoulder) has been in full training this week and could be in the squad for the Copa del Rey match against Oreyana on Thursday, according to Oscar Garcia Mayo of Cadena S...

Impact Eriksson has been dealing with a right shoulder injury for several weeks now and has yet to play a single game for Racing in the 2026/27 season. He seems to be responding well to treatment, however, and chances are he'll be ready to play Thursday or, at least, make the bench Sunday against Real Madrid in LaLiga.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Prati - Returns to full training after injury scare Prati (undisclosed) resumed full team training Tuesday after being forced off during Saturday's encounter against Espanyol and is available moving forward after training normally,...

Impact Prati appears to have avoided a significant injury after leaving Saturday's match against Espanyol in the 67th minute due to physical discomfort. The Italian midfielder started alongside Ivan Martin before being replaced by Iker Luque, raising concerns about his availability for Racing Santander's upcoming fixtures. However, Prati participated fully in Tuesday's training session without any apparent limitations, suggesting the issue has been resolved. His return to normal training puts him in contention for Wednesday's Copa del Rey trip to Ribadesella, although coach Jose Alberto could opt to rotate his squad for the cup fixture. Prati should also be available for Sunday's league encounter against Real Madrid, barring any setbacks. His quick recovery represents a positive development for Racing, allowing the midfielder to maintain his place in the rotation without an extended spell on the sidelines.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Julen Agirrezabala - Easy win Agirrezabala registered no saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win against Espanyol.

Impact Agirrezabala didn't have to make a save during Saturday's win. He did concede one goal, but that was the only shot he faced as the team in front of him controlled the match outside of that goal. Agirrezabala will hope to build from this excellent team performance when he takes on Real Madrid next time out.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Canales - Assists in win Canales assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.

Impact Canales provided one assist during Saturday's win. The midfielder was busy out wide throughout the match, sending in four crosses and maintaining a role on set-pieces. That role on dead-ball situations gives him a strong floor to build from, with any sort of goal contributions adding a ceiling immediately.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Jeanuel Belocian - Nets rare goal Belocian scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 win against Espanyol.

Impact Belocian isn't a consistent offensive threat, but he did get a goal during Saturday's win on a pair of shots. He wasn't involved in the attack much throughout the match, but the goal was crucial for all three points. Belocian will likely remain a largely defensive option moving forward though, with little offensive upside.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Yassir Zabiri - Nets in win Zabiri scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Espanyol.

Impact Zabiri was effective and got on the ball frequently during Saturday's win. He took four shots and put two of them on goal as well as netting once. The forward was dangerous every time he got on the ball, causing issues for the backline and nearly earning a brace. On the whole it was another strong performance for the forward.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Prati - Forced off against Espanyol Prati was forced off with an apparent injury in the 67th minute of Saturday's match against Espanyol

Impact Prati started in midfield alongside Ivan Martin and played more than an hour before he had to come off. Iker Luque replaced him as part of a double change. The extent of the problem has not been revealed, and Racing will hope the Italian is available for the Copa del Rey trip to Ribadesella on Wednesday and the visit of Real Madrid on Nov. 1.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Inigo Vicente - Unable to find a teammate Inigo Vicente had seven crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-0 defeat versus Osasuna.

Impact Vicente had good volume on his crossing and did deliver some accurate service but was unable to put together a strong move to give Racing Santander a chance at a goal. He has a good matchup looming against an Espanyol team that has conceded 12 times in LaLiga play this season but the forward will have to do better with his accuracy to take advantage.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Julen Agirrezabala - Concedes twice in loss Agirrezabala had five saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Osasuna.

Impact Agirrezabala was stellar overall and kept Racing Santander in the match with five saves but ultimately conceded the only goals of the game. He will next meet an Espanyol team which has scored 11 goals through nine LaLiga games.

Matteo Prati - Trains normally after injury scare Prati (thigh) trained normally Wednesday after leaving Sunday's La Liga clash against Valencia with discomfort following a collision, according to Tiro al Arco.

Impact Prati appears to have avoided a significant injury after requesting a substitution late in Sunday's draw against Valencia due to a blow to his thigh. The Italian midfielder completed Wednesday's training session without restrictions and is available for Sunday's trip to Osasuna. Having established himself as a regular starter since joining Racing Santander on loan from Cagliari, Prati appears on track to retain his place in central midfield.

Simon Eriksson - Returns to group training Eriksson (shoulder) participated in Wednesday's training session as Racing Santander prepared for Sunday's La Liga clash against Osasuna, according to Tiro al Arco.

Impact Eriksson continues to make progress in his recovery from right shoulder tendinopathy, which has kept him sidelined since early September. The Swedish goalkeeper trained alongside Julen Agirrezabala on Wednesday after missing the previous match against Valencia despite having recently resumed team training. His latest involvement suggests he is approaching a return to the matchday squad, although Agirrezabala remains Racing Santander's established first-choice goalkeeper.

Matteo Prati - Forced off with thigh contusion Prati was forced off during Sunday's La Liga clash against Valencia after suffering a heavy blow to his thigh, with initial assessments suggesting a contusion rather than a muscle...

Impact Prati sustained the injury following a collision that caused significant discomfort and prevented him from completing the match. The Italian midfielder has established himself as a regular starter for Racing Santander this season after arriving on loan from Cagliari, making his potential absence a concern for the team's midfield rotation. Although early indications suggest he avoided a muscle tear, his condition will be monitored in the coming days to determine whether additional examinations are necessary. If Prati is forced to miss time, Andre Almeida could benefit from increased playing opportunities in central midfield.

Yassir Zabiri - Scores in draw with Valencia Zabiri scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Valencia.

Impact Zabiri finished Inigo Vicente's pass with a composed touch inside the box in the 32nd minute of play Sunday. The Moroccan's strong scoring form has put him in a four-way tie for second in the league with seven goals, a remarkable rise for a player who entered the campaign as an unexpected contender. He should remain ahead of Asier Villalibre in the race to lead the front line for a team that has leaned much more heavily on its attack than its defense.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Inigo Vicente - Provides assist in draw Vicente assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), 12 crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Valencia.

Impact Vicente threaded a perfectly weighted pass through the defense to set up Yassir Zabiri's equalizer in the 32nd minute against Valencia. The playmaker also delivered plenty of crosses and won eight of 10 ground duels, leading his side in both of those aspects. With three assists over eight league appearances, he has established himself as Racing's most successful creator. He's racking up consistent minutes on the left wing while sharing set-piece duties with Sergio Canales.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Martin - Scores in draw Martin scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Valencia. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 92nd minute.

Impact Martin collected a fortunate deflection in the 47th minute and buried it to give Racing their second goal the match, breaking a six-game stretch without a direct contribution since joining the club. His 93 percent pass accuracy from 72 attempts was the clearest expression of his value as a distributor, and the chance he created added to an all-around involved performance in possession. The one concern worth flagging is a drop-off in defensive work over the last two matches, as his tackle numbers have fallen noticeably, which raises the question of whether he's being asked to press less or simply finding fewer opportunities to win the ball in the current system.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Julen Agirrezabala - Concedes twice against Valencia Agirrezabala recorded no saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Valencia.

Impact Agirrezabala had a disappointing outing, failing to make a save in an unusual match where he faced a low volume of shots. He has struggled to keep goals out throughout the season, and this performance lowered his average to 3.8 saves per game. His current form makes him an unreliable option unless his team can correct its defensive weakness soon. The next chance to end the poor run will come next Sunday against Osasuna, who have the fifth-lowest scoring total in the league.
