Yangel Herrera
26-Year-Old
Real Sociedad
La Liga
OUT
Injury Calf
Est. Return 1/18/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Herrera contributed to seven league goals in the 2024/25 campaign and often impressed with his timing and energy in the final third. He played a major role linking play and arriving late into the box while also offering bite in midfield. If he can avoid the nagging injuries that limited him at times, Herrera could become even more influential in 2025/26. With improved squad depth around him, he may be in a better position to post career-high numbers in both goals and assists, especially because Girona will be more league-focused next season and won't lose energy in Europe.
Remains sidelined
Herrera (calf) won't be an option to face Atletico Madrid on Sunday, according to Marta Gonzalo of Diario AS.
ANALYSIS
Herrera has struggled with injuries throughout the entire season, and the central midfielder won't be an option for the first clash of the calendar year. He doesn't have a timetable for his return to action, but given he's yet to engage in training at all, he should be at least a few weeks away from being an option for the coaching staff.
