Logs six tackles in win Saul logged six tackles (four won) and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 2-0 win over Villarreal.

Impact Saul made his first start since completing his one-match suspension and promptly picked up another yellow card.

Completes suspension Saul completed his one-match suspension during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Levante.

Impact Saul joins Stefan Savic on the sidelines due to suspension after conceding bookings in each of his last two matches. While he remains available for Tuesday's UCL match against Chelsea, Saul will need to hope that he still has a place in the team by his next match against Villarreal, as Geoffrey Kondogbia has had more chances to play recently and Hector Herrera (COVID-19) could be back soon.

Scores goal against Cadiz Saul scored a goal and created a chance in Sunday's 4-2 victory against Cadiz. He also made a clearance and won two of three tackles in the match.

Impact Saul made just his second start since Dec. 9 on Sunday, but he justified the selection by scoring his second goal of the season. He has been a bit off form this term and he has lost his starting spot in midfield, so he will hope that this performance can kickstart a revitalization in his performances.

Impact Saul started as a wing-back but couldn't get much going as most of the attacking work came through the front three of Joao Felix, Marcos Llorente and Luis Suarez. He'll remain a key presence in the lineup but Saul has done little to suggest he'll hold much value going into the next match against Barcelona.

In starting XI Tuesday Saul (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Lokomotiv Moscow.

Impact Saul is set to return Tuesday after missing the last five matches with an undisclosed issue. Given his absence, it'd be a surprise if he made an immediate return to the starting XI and even if he does, his fantasy value remains inconsistent in more of a defensive role.
