Stole Dimitrievski - Struggles in loss Dimitrievski registered no saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Betis.

Impact Dimitrievski faced two shots, failed to stop either of them and was left with the loss during Sunday's clash. It's tough to say he deserved anything more as he failed to stop either shot on his net. It's a match to forget, as Dimitrievski will need to be at his best against Real Madrid next time out in domestic action.

Filip Ugrinic - Three shots Sunday Ugrinic registered three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Betis.

Impact Ugrinic took three shots and a corner Sunday, but didn't do much with that volume, as only one of the shots was on goal. The midfielder struggled for the most part throughout the match, and couldn't get time and space on the ball. Ugrinic isn't likely to get much more space with some tough matches on the horizon.

Lucas Beltran - Assists in loss Beltran assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Betis.

Impact Beltran created a single chance, but it proved to be a big one as Luis Rioja took that chance well and scored. A nice assist in a disappointing loss, but the volume really wasn't there for Beltran, as he failed to put a shot on goal either. On the whole the assist is nice, but it wasn't a comprehensively good showing in the loss.

Luis Rioja - Scores in loss Rioja scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Betis.

Impact Rioja found the back of the net during Sunday's loss, as well as sending in six cross with a duty on set-pieces. It was a solid showing individually, but the loss is still a disappointment. Rioja has some brutal matches coming up, and he will need to be efficient to have any chance of building off this goal.

Cesar Tarrega - Named to bench Tarrega (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Betis.

Impact Tarrega is back in the team sheet Sunday and with his team as expected, with the defender earning a spot on the bench to face Betis. With 18 starts in 20 appearances this season, the defender should return to a starting role after testing his legs.

Atletico Madrid striker Sorloth taken to hospital after clash of heads

Atletico Madrid says Alexander Sorloth has been taken to a hospital after he knocked heads with a Levante player in a La Liga game

Cesar Tarrega - Back available Sunday Tarrega (knee) trained in full and is back available for Sunday's clash against Betis, coach Carlos Corberan said in the press conference. "Tarrega is available."

Impact Tarrega missed the last game against Espanyol due to a knee injury but the defender trained in full in recent days and is an option for Sunday's clash against Betis. This is a big boost for Valencia since he is an undisputed starter in the backline and he could regain his role on Sunday. That said, if he has to start on the bench, Eray Comert will likely start in his spot again.

Thierry Correia - Back on grass Correia (hamstring) is back on the grass but isn't ready to return yet, according to Javier Bengoa of Super Deporte.

Impact Correia is working his way back from a hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined for several weeks now. His return to the grass is a step in the right direction, but the full-back isn't ready to return to action yet. He's likely a week away or two from being an option for the coaching staff.

Cesar Tarrega - Back in training Tarrega (knee) returned to training Friday, according to Javier Bengoa of Super Deporte.

Impact Tarrega resumed training for the first time since sustaining a knee injury in January. He won't be ready to play against Betis on Feb. 1, but he might be an option for the Feb. 8 contest against Real Madrid.

Guido Rodriguez - Transfers to Valencia Rodriguez has completed a transfer to Valencia from West Ham, according to his former club.

Impact Rodriguez is off to Spain for the next stage of his career, with the Argentine joining Valencia. The midfielder will go from a bottom-three position with West Ham into a battle to avoid relegation with Valencia, only two spots from that fate, halfway through the season. That said, he has struggled for time with the Hammers this season, only playing in six games (two starts) for 177 minutes of play. His role with Valencia is not set to increase immediately upon his arrival, likely for a rotational role, but not confirmed for anything more than that.

Lucas Beltran - First assist of season Beltran assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Espanyol.

Impact Beltran would earn his first assist of the season Saturday after finding Hugo Duro early, with a 15th-minute assist. This is only his second goal contribution of the season in 18 appearances (10 starts).

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Arnaut Danjuma - Notches assist Danjuma assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 victory versus Espanyol.

Impact Danjuma earned a second straight start Saturday, and that led to an assist, with the attacker finding Eray Comert in the 59th minute. This marks his fifth goal contribution of the season, with three goals and two assists. He should continue in the starting role, with 15 starts in 20 appearances.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Duro - Nets opener Duro scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Espanyol.

Impact Duro was back on the scoresheet for the first time in three outings Saturday, finding the back of the net in the 15th minute for the opener. This marks his seventh goal of the season, taking only 23 shots to reach that mark, quite accurate. However, the attacker is yet to bag an assist in 20 appearances.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Eray Comert - Rare goal Saturday Comert scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 win over Espanyol.

Impact Comert was back in the starting XI Saturday after two games unused following an injury, earning the full 90 in the defense. He would earn a rare goal, scoring his first of the season and his first since the 2023 campaign. He would also record two interceptions, three tackles and 10 clearances in the defense in the win.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Largie Ramazani - Nets game-winning penalty Ramazani scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-2 victory versus Espanyol.

Impact Ramazani would step up for a penalty kick in injury time, converting and winning his club the match. This comes despite only two minutes of play from the bench, coming as his first goal all season. The forward is up to two goal contributions, as he recorded an assist in the third game of the season, also coming from the bench.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Stole Dimitrievski - Concedes two against Espanyol Dimitrievski registered five saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 win over Espanyol.

Impact Dimitrievski would allow two goals Saturday but still had a decent outing, as one goal came via an own goal while also making five saves. However, he couldn't make it two straight clean sheets after one last time out. He remains the starter for the time being, but is likely to return to his backup role once Julen Agirrezabala is fit from his injury.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Gaya - Option moving forward Gaya is no longer banned and is an option for his club moving forward.

Impact Gaya is off the suspension list and eligible to play once again, as the defender is only missing one match due to the yellow card accumulation. He has started in 16 of his 17 appearances this season and should return to a starting role at left-back.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Raba - Finds bench role Raba (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Espanyol.

Impact Raba is named on the bench after returning to full training following a hamstring injury earlier this month. He provides additional depth in the attacking third but continues in a supporting role as he has started only three of his 11 Liga appearances in 2025/26. His availability gives the coaching staff more flexibility off the bench.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Unai Nunez - Loaned to Valencia Nunez will join Valencia until the end of the 2025/26 campaign on loan from Celta Vigo following his six-month spell in Italian side Hellas Verona.

Impact Nunez has returned to Spain after registering 62 clearances, 24 tackles and 23 interceptions across 17 Serie A matches played (15 starts). The center-back is valuable only for defensive stats given that he rarely gets involved in attack. Still, it's unclear if he'll immediately become a starter for a team that also includes Eray Comert and Copete.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Eray Comert - Will return Saturday Comert (hip) has recovered from his fitness issues and will be available for Saturday's game against Espanyol, manager Carlos Corberan told media Friday. "Fortunately, Eray recover...

Impact Comert has been limited to just three appearances (one start) in league play this season. Even if he's cleared to return, he's not expected to make a big impact in fantasy.
