Rodrigo De Paul - Available off bench Sunday De Paul (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Cadiz.

Impact De Paul returned to training earlier this week, and while the Betis matchup came too soon for him, he might see some minutes in this one as a midfield option. He should eventually recover a regular starting role, potentially sending Saul to the bench.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Angel Correa - Starting against Cadiz Correa (knee) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's match against Cadiz.

Impact Correa recovered ahead of schedule from a knee sprain and is set to make his first start of the campaign. He has one goal and one assist out of five appearances off the bench in 2023/24.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

SEPTEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stefan Savic - Trains on Friday Savic (strain) was included in training on Friday ahead of Sunday's match against Betis.

Impact Savic is inching closer and closer to a return after being pictured in training on Friday. He will hope to regain his starting spot immediately once he is healthy, as he started the first six games of the season before picking up the knock. If he does make his return to the starting XI on Sunday, expect Jose Maria Gimenez to return to the bench.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rodrigo De Paul - Viewed training De Paul took part in training on Friday ahead of Sunday's match against Betis.

Impact De Paul will look to make his return on Sunday after returning to training on Friday.

Improving Atletico Madrid is 5th in the Spanish league with 2-0 win at Osasuna

Atletico Madrid has kept the momentum going from its win against rival Real Madrid by beating Osasuna 2-0 in the Spanish league

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Alvaro Morata - Sent off Morata was shown a straight red card during the second half of Thursday's trip to Osasuna.

Impact Morata was sent off late during Thursday's clash after his temper flared. The forward will be suspended for a Sunday clash with Cadiz, which could lead to a change of formation for Atleti. Morata will be eligible to return to La Liga action for an Oct. 8 clash with Sociedad.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rodrigo De Paul - Won't be ready Thursday De Paul (thigh) was left out of the traveling squad against Osasuna on Thursday.

Impact De Paul will be shelved for his fourth consecutive contest and almost certainly won't be ready to face Cadiz on Sunday given the quick turnaround. In fact, at this point, it's fair to wonder if the midfielder will return before the upcoming international break considering he has yet to resume first-team training. A combination of Saul, Koke and Axel Witsel will hold down the midfield duties with De Paul shelved.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Caglar Soyuncu - Remains unavailable Thursday Soyuncu (groin) was not called up versus Osasuna on Thursday.

Impact With the short week, Soyuncu probably shouldn't be expected to be available versus Cadiz on Thursday and figures to remain a doubt for Wednesday's Champions League matchup with Feyenoord. At this point, until the defender is spotted back on the training pitch, he should probably be considered out indefinitely.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stefan Savic - Ruled out versus Osasuna Savic will not be an option against Osasuna on Thursday after being left out of the team due to "discomfort."

Impact Savic has started all six matches for the club this season, going the full 90 in all but one of those outings. While he hasn't offered much offensively, he has one shot (off target) and one cross (inaccurate), the central defender has racked up defensive stats with 17 interceptions, 11 clearances and seven blocks. With Savic on the shelf, Cesar Azpilicueta could step into the starting XI versus Osasuna.
