Twelve of our players were in action last week for their respective loan clubs.

Read on to find out how they performed:

Hector Bellerin assisted both goals as Real Betis beat Ferencvaros 2-0 in the Europa League group stage. Our defender found Cristian Tello with a well-timed cutback to open the scoring, before setting up Sergio Canales to score from long-range, as Hector helped Real Betis secure their spot in the knockout stages.

William Saliba was in action twice for Marseille. Our defender played the full 90 minutes of their 4-2 defeat to Galatasaray in the Europa League group stage. The result means Marseille failed to qualify for the knockout stages. William also played the full match as Marseille beat Troyes 1-0 in Ligue 1.

Matteo Guendouzi featured twice for Marseille last week. Our midfielder started both the Europa League defeat to Galatasaray and the win over Troyes. The win leaves Marseille fourth in Ligue 1 after 14 matches.

Dinos Mavropanos played 90 minutes as Stuttgart beat FSV Mainz 2-1. The win leaves Stuttgart 15th in Bundesliga after 13 matches.

Alex Runarsson played the full match as Oud-Heverlee Leuven beat Union SG 3-1. The win was Alex’s first league appearance of the season.

Lucas Torreira played 85 minutes as Fiorentina lost 2-1 to Empoli. The defeat leaves Fiorentina sixth in Serie A after 14 matches.

Reiss Nelson was a 67th-minute substitute as Feyenoord drew 0-0 with FC Twente. The point extends Feyenoord’s unbeaten run in the Eredivisie to six and leaves them four points behind first-placed Ajax, with a game in hand.

Harry Clarke was in action twice for Ross County. Our midfielder played 90 minutes of their 1-0 win over Hibernian, before being sent off after 75 minutes in a 1-1 draw with Dundee United.

Daniel Ballard also had a busy week, featuring twice in four days for Millwall. Our defender played two full matches as his side drew 1-1 with Bournemouth and lost 2-1 to Hull City.

Matt Smith played back-to-back 90 minutes for Doncaster Rovers as they lost 3-0 to Bolton Wanderers and 2-0 to Burton Albion.
