Four out of five players featured for their respective loan sides in Friday and Saturday’s round of fixtures across Europe.

FRANCE

Ismael Bennacer started and completed the full 90 minutes for Tours, but they succumbed to a 4-0 home drubbing against Le Havre on Friday evening. However, results elsewhere mean that Tours are safe from the drop this season with one league match to play.

ENGLAND

Just like Bennacer on Friday, Calum Chambers started and played the full match but his side were also defeated. An already-relegated Middlesbrough team were second best for large periods and unsurprisingly, the 22-year-old was one of their best performers again.

His individual match statistics (source: WhoScored):

– Two interceptions, three clearances and no fouls committed
– 36 passes, 83.3% accuracy
– Two completed dribbles, one accurate long ball

SCOTLAND

Jon Toral made his competitive return from injury, starting and playing 73 minutes during Rangers’ 2-1 win over Hearts.

SPAIN

Julio Pleguezuelo’s presence at the back wasn’t enough to stop Mallorca from suffering a 2-1 defeat by Real Valladolid on Saturday afternoon.

PORTUGAL

And the player who didn’t feature? Joel Campbell, which shouldn’t be much of a surprise. He’s only started one league fixture since the start of 2017, during Sporting’s 2-1 win over Feirense in January.

Roles were reversed in this game as the eighth-placed outfit prevailed with the same scoreline on this occasion.
