Est. Return 1/25/2026
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.
Weeks away from returning
Herrera (calf) won't be available for Sunday's game against FC Barcelona and remains weeks away from returning to action, manager Pellegrino Matarazzo told media Friday. "Today was his first session, and he didn't participate in full. He needs to continue his recovery process. He's still two or three weeks away from playing."
ANALYSIS
Herrera has played just two games for Real Sociedad this season. The playmaker is expected to return in late January or early February if everything goes well.
