Ander Guevara
ALA
Fading role for captain
Guevara has made three appearances for Alaves through the first stretch of the 2026/27 La Liga campaign, totaling 96 minutes with one start.
Analysis: Guevara continues the decline in influence that defined his previous two seasons, now the ninth-choice outfield player in minutes and mostly used to close out matches. His contract runs through 2027 and he remains club captain, but sporting director Sergio Fernandez has been noncommittal about his long-term role. He projects as a rotational midfield option rather than a regular starter.
Assists in Tuesday's loss
Guevara assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Tuesday's 2-1 loss versus Real Madrid.
Analysis: Guevara recorded his first assist of the season Tuesday as he set up Toni Martinez's goal in the 93rd minute. It was one of a season-high two chances he created in the match. He also recorded one off-target shot and one clearance in his 15 minutes off the bench.
