Giovanni Leoni - Out
Leoni is now going to be out until the new year due to a setback. Iraola said last month: "It’s taking more time than we wanted. The plan was to train with the team in this past international break [but] probably it’s going to be in the next [one], so we’ve lost one month in the process. He has to be very confident; the rehab process has to be very careful with him, and we want to make sure once he comes to the team, he stays in a good place."
Conor Bradley - Out
Bradley is said to be closing in on team treaining but won't be ready to return from his long-term issue until some time on December.

Ryan Gravenberch - Doubt
Iraola said after the Champions League game: "I don’t know, it’s a day-to-day thing... It’s a fracture of the heel. It’s about the pain. He has been with some discomfort. The other day against Arsenal he was warming up and he was not fully confident. He hasn’t improved since then. If he can be available for the weekend, lovely, he would be a very good help for us. But I cannot tell you right now."
