Impact El Yamiq doesn't have much time if he hopes to play Wednesday but is otherwise nearly fit. With just two starts made in three appearances this season, El Yamiq will need to earn a place in the lineup before offering much fantasy value.

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Olaza - Sends in seven crosses Olaza registered seven crosses (four accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Espanyol.

Impact Olaza continues to show off at every opportunity he gets to play with another game of multiple crosses. He is currently sharing playing time with Sergio Escudero.

Zouhair Feddal - Six clearances in first start Feddal recorded six clearances in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Espanyol.

Impact Feddal made his first start for the team since his transfer in the summer and had a stellar performance with a season high of clearances.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jordi Masip - Lets in one goal Masip made two saves and allowed a goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Espanyol.

Impact Masip put on a hard-fought performance, however he was unable to get to Joselu's shot in time that cost Valladolid the clean sheet in the game. As a fill in until Sergio Asenjo is back, the Spaniard has allowed seven goals on 12 saves in four appearances this season.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Asenjo - Out against Espanyol Asenjo (broken hand) remains out for Sunday's match against Espanyol.

Jawad El Yamiq - Could be back soon El Yamiq (quadriceps) is considered a doubt to be available in Sunday's trip to Espanyol, according to manager Pacheta.

Impact El Yamiq was initially expected to be out for up to a month with a quad injury but he'd be back in two weeks should he travel Sunday. Javi Sanchez and Joaquin will remain the top options at center-back until El Yamiq is able to contribute, as he's played just once in nearly seven weeks.

OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gonzalo Plata - Hopes to return Plata (strain) is considered a doubt to return in Sunday's trip to Espanyol, according to manager Pacheta.

Robert Kenedy - Dealing with groin issue Kenedy is dealing with a groin injury and could need surgery if treatment doesn't go well, according to manager Pacheta ahead of Sunday's trip to Espnayol.

Impact Kenedy isn't likely to play much before the World Cup break and would be out until 2023 if surgery is indeed needed. He's played just once since joining Valladolid and it's worth re-assessing his status when fully fit.

OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Asenjo - Back in training Asenjo returned to training during Monday's session.

Impact Asenjo is back after missing a couple of weeks with a minor fracture in his hand.

Impact Kenedy is someone that the team wants to work into the system but he's played just 14 minutes in one appearance so far. When he does get fully fit, Kenedy could provide another dimension for a team looking to avoid relegation.

Impact Joaquin has started in all but one of his seven appearances this season but a dismal performance saw him replaced after a third of the match. While still a reliable member of the back line, he'll have to step up his form if he's not to be replaced by Zou Feddal in the coming weeks.
