Est. Return 1/30/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Puado was crucial for Espanyol during the 2024/25 campaign, scoring 12 times and adding four assists on 71 shots. He mostly played off the left wing to close the campaign, though he opened as a striker. He led the team by 10 goal contributions after notching 14 combined across the prior two seasons. Reaching the same numbers may be difficult in 2025/26, but he's appeared in at least 30 matches each of the last three seasons and figures to be plenty involved again with at least 10 goal involvements a good projection.
Suffers setback from knee injury
Puado was substituted a few minutes after coming off bench in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Levante after suffering with heavy pain to the same knee that ruled him out for three months, according to Ivan Molero from AS.
ANALYSIS
Puado suffered a setback to his knee injury in Sunday's draw against Levante following a challenge with an opponent. The forward came off the bench for a few minutes before being forced off and heading directly to the locker room to receive treatment. The extent of that setback remains unknown, yet given its significance and the fact he missed the last three months with an injury to the same knee, it is likely the attacker will miss additional time in the coming weeks.
