Another goal off bench Herrera scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target) in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Sevilla.

Impact Herrera was the man of the hour with his late game-winner to seal the win for Girona on Saturday. His form has improved of late with two goals in the last two games. Before, he was scoreless in the last 11 appearances. Hopefully, this is a new start for the 23-year-old after a struggling 2022 season with no goals all year.

Logs assist in draw Herrera logged one assist from one chance created and made three tackles during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.

Impact Herrera helped David Lopez score an equalizing goal to give their team a second straight home draw. As Herrera has created three chances but conceded a yellow card on nine fouls in his last three games, he's not the most reliable option available.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Making return Herrera (hamstring) has been reincorporated into training ahead of Sunday's match against Real Sociedad, according to Joel Sebastian of MARCA.

Impact Herrera missed all of September but when fit, should be a lock to start after playing from kickoff in two of his three appearances so far.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs assist in win Herrera provided one assist from one chance created during Monday's 3-1 win over Getafe.

Impact Herrera set up Valentin Castellanos for the second goal, beginning the partnership between the two ex-NYCFC players. As Herrera tends to be a defensive and physical player, his fantasy value isn't likely to be the highest unless he makes a habit of giving Castellanos more assists.

AUGUST 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in La Liga Herrera has joined Girona on a season-long loan from Manchester City.

Impact Herrera makes the inevitable move back to La Liga after spending prior seasons with Huesca, Granada and Espanyol. Given the minutes he racked up in prior loan spells, it only makes sense for him to find a significant role in Girona's midfield where he'll play in more of a defensive role.

Takes shot in draw Herrera took a shot and created a chance in last weekend's 0-0 draw against Granada. He also made two clearances in the match.

Impact Herrera began the season out with a thigh injury until October, but the 24-year-old grew into his role at his new club and ended his loan campaign with a goal and an assist in 23 La Liga appearances (19 starts) in midfield. This likely isn't enough for parent club Manchester City to recall his services however, so he'll likely be sent on-loan once again in 2022/23.

Busy defensively Herrera made four tackles and five clearances during Saturday's one-all draw with Espanyol.

Impact Herrera was busy throughout Saturday's draw though most of his work was behind the ball. While he was a defensive option with Granada, Herrera has become a true defensive midfielder for Espanyol, rarely getting forward in any way. His role has really limited his fantasy upside, as he only has six chances created in 15 appearances so far.

MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Named to match-day squad Herrera (undisclosed) will be available off the bench against Athletic on Monday.

In his last six appearances (all starts), Herrera notched one goal on four shots (one on target), one assist and five crosses (two accurate).

FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Prior to getting hurt, the midfielder has started six straight contests in which he recorded one goal on four shots (one on target), one assist and five crosses (two accurate). While not the focal point of the club's attack, Herrera should offer decent mid-range fantasy value once cleared to return.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with injury Herrera was not in Espanyol's match day squad for Monday's 2-1 defeat against Elche due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Herrera has missed Espanyol's last two La Liga games after starting six in a row between November and December, but he will have another week to recover before the clash against Cadiz on Jan. 18.

Impact Herrera had his second appearance on the scoresheet over his last three starts, this time assisting Raul De Tomas for his side's second goal in the 49th minute.

Up next on the schedule is a trip to Rayo Vallecano, which have conceded the second-most tackles to midfielders in La Liga.
