Impact Llorente has been sidelined since April with a groin injury he suffered in training, but he has returned to the group and could be available for selection against Villarreal on Sunday.

Marcos Llorente - Training with team Llorente (groin) returned to team training with Atletico Madrid on Friday and could be in contention to play in Sunday's season finale against Villarreal, Marca reports.
Memphis Depay - Won't be ready for Sunday Depay (calf) is still rehabbing his injury and will not be available for the season finale against Villarreal this weekend, Marca reported Friday.
Impact Depay had a couple of brilliant moments in his first season with Atletico Madrid, scoring four goals from eight La Liga appearances (three starts) since transferring from Barcelona in January. If the 29-year-old can stay fit -- he missed virtually all of April and May with injuries -- then he could be a regular starter alongside Antoine Griezmann in the front-two during the next campaign.

Mario Hermoso - Likely to miss season finale Hermoso is not expected to play in Sunday's clash against Villarreal due to the imminent birth of his child, Marca reports Friday.
Impact Hermoso had an interesting campaign as he started 21 consecutive league games from mid-January through last weekend, finishing with three goals, two assists and eight clean sheets across 25 La Liga appearances (23 starts) overall this season, plus another goal in the Champions League. Atletico's uptick in form in 2023 coincided with his run in the XI, but it's still not entirely certain the 27-year-old will be a regular in central defense next season with Stefan Savic, Jose Maria Gimenez (knee) and Reinildo (knee) returning to the mix.
JUNE 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Renan Lodi - Set to rejoin Atletico Lodi will be back with Atletico Madrid next season following the conclusion of his loan with Nottingham Forest.
Impact Lodi's loan deal did include an option to buy which it seems Nottingham Forest has opted not to take advantage of. With the Premier League club, the left-back started 26 of his 28 appearances in which he recorded 75 crosses (12 accurate), 15 corners and one assist. With Reinildo (knee) dealing with a long-term injury, Lodi could be in contention for the left-back spot at the start of the 2023-24 campaign.

Yannick Carrasco - Undergoing nose surgery Carrasco will undergo an operation to fix a broken nose and is a major doubt for Sunday's season finale against Villarreal, Marca reports Thursday.
Impact Carrasco's season is mostly likely over following this surgery, and he ends the campaign with seven goals and three assists across 35 La Liga appearances (26 starts) either on the left wing/left wing-back. Four scores during his last seven games since late April helped push the 29-year-old to his best single-season goals tally since 2016/17 in Spain, but he only has one year left on his contract and might be in for a summer of transfer rumors.

Joao Felix - Returns to Madrid Felix has completed his loan at Chelsea and will return to Madrid after new manager Mauricio Pochettino confirmed that he will not keep Felix, according to Atletico Madrid Presiden...
Impact Felix did not perform as expected with Chelsea since brought on by loan in January. He had recorded 14 starts in 20 appearances in all competitions, logging in just four goals on 59 shots (21 on target). It also does not help that Chelsea had one of their worst seasons, failing to score goals. The forward sat out for nine matches while struggling to produce goals from the forward and winger position. He will return back to La Liga where his future will be determined.
JUNE 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Maria Gimenez - Undergoes knee surgery Gimenez had arthroscopic knee surgery Wednesday and will miss the season finale against Villarreal on Sunday.
Impact Gimenez will end the season having played in 28 La Liga matches (26 starts) in which he generated two goals on 22 shots (eight on target), one assist and 135 clearances. In addition, the defender featured in all five Champions League contests for the club as well, adding another 19 clearances, six interceptions and six tackles. Barring any setbacks, it seems Giminez will be ready to return in time for the start of the 2023-24 campaign.

Yannick Carrasco - Sends in six crosses in win Carrasco generated one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad.
Impact Carrrasco had a good outing to help Atletico earn the win at home. The left-back led his side in crosses as usual, while taking five of their six corner kicks in the match. He's been very productive on offense lately, logging six goals and three assists in his last 14 starts.

Mario Hermoso - Makes three interceptions in win Hermoso had two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three interceptions in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad. In addition, he was given a yellow card in th...
Impact Hermoso had a good all-around performance to help Atletico earn three points at home. The centerback led his side in interceptions, while also taking the second-most shots. He did receive his fourth yellow card of the season, though.
MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nahuel Molina - Scores versus Real Sociedad Molina scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 win against Real Sociedad.
Impact Molina scored in the 73rd minute to double Atletico's lead at home, helping his side earn the home win. The right-back had a quiet outing other than that, though. He's doing well offensively since April, posting four goals and one assist in the last 10 games.
MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Antoine Griezmann - Scores and assists in win Griezmann scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Real Sociedad.
Impact Griezmann was the man of the match to help Atletico earn three points at home. The forward first scored the opener in the 37th minute, before assisting Nahuel Molina in the 73rd to double their lead. He's been on fire lately, posting six goals and six asssists in the last nine games.
MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ivo Grbic - Makes four saves in win Grbic recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Real Sociedad.
Impact Grbic did well for most of the game, but conceded in the 88th minute. The goalkeeper also matched his second-most saves in the campaign so far. He has one clean sheet in seven starts since taking over from the injured Jan Oblak, and will look for his second in the season finale at Villarreal on Sunday.
MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alvaro Morata - Back in squad Sunday Morata (neck) was named to the match-day squad versus Real Sociedad on Sunday.
Impact Morata had started five straight matches prior to sustaining his neck injury that was originally expected to sideline him for the rest of the year. The forward should be in contention to retake his spot on the pitch versus Villarreal on Sunday with his injury seemingly behind him. In those prior five starts, Morata registered three goals on 18 shots (nine on target) and should serve as the focal point of the attack if he starts.
MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Stefan Savic - Back in squad Sunday Savic (toe) was an unused substitute versus Real Sociedad on Saturday.
Impact Savic was back in the squad following a six-match stint on the shelf due to his toe problem. Barring any setbacks, the central defender could be in the mix to reclaim his place in the starting XI heading into the season finale versus Villarreal on Sunday. If he does feature, Savic should generate plenty of defensive stats but won't offer much in the way of value in the offensive third.
MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rodrigo De Paul - Suspended for finale De Paul picked up his fifth yellow card of the season and will serve a one-match ban versus Villarreal on Sunday.
Impact De Paul will miss the season finale after having featured in the starting XI for 24 of his 30 appearances for the club this season. For the 2022-23 campaign, the midfielder generated two goals on 21 shots (five on target), seven assists and 47 crosses (12 accurate).

Antoine Griezmann - Scores goal Griezmann scored one goal to go with six shots (two on goal) and one corner in Wednesday's 3-3 draw against Espanyol.
Impact Griezmann has 14 goals across the 2022-23 La Liga. Now, he is only one goal short of equaling his 2018-19 La Liga goal tally, which the striker logged across 37 appearances. Impressively, Griezmann's 2022-23 La Liga goal tally is logged with one less appearance, fewer shots and more assists.
MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Saul Niguez - Starts and scores again Saul scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-3 draw versus Espanyol.
Impact Saul was part of Atletico Madrid's starting XI again after scoring a rocket Sunday against Osasuna. He did not disappoint, logging another goal but with a contribution from Yannick Carrasco.
MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Yannick Carrasco - Another goal Carrasco scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and three chances created in Wednesday's draw versus Espanyol.
Impact Carrasco logged the second goal of Atletico Madrid's six-goal draw Wednesday. Even if the full-back goes goalless Sunday against Real Sociedad, he would have finished May having more appearances with a goal scored (three) than goalless appearances (one).
MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mario Hermoso - Another assist Hermoso assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-3 draw against Espanyol.
Impact Hermoso logged the assist to Atletico Madrid's first goal, scored by Saul. The contribution compensated for his inadequate defense Wednesday. Hermoso has two assists across four appearances in May, a surprising rate from someone who had not logged any before that month and after Sept. 21.
MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ivo Grbic - Logs 10 saves, concedes thrice Grbic registered 10 saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-3 draw versus Espanyol. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 75th minute.
Impact Likely because the team has little room for error, Grbic was tasked to face an Espanyol squad solely focused on attacking football. After logging 10 saves across his five appearances between April 26 and May 21, he got that same 10 tally during Atletico Madrid's game Wednesday. However, Grbic was unable to save more than 77 percent of Espanyol's shots on goal, as the team scored thrice past him regardless.
MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rodrigo De Paul - Sets up late goal in win De Paul assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and three chances created in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Osasuna.
Impact De Paul was active in midfield, as he set up the team's third goal with a perfect through ball, and only a rebound prevented him from assisting in Saul's goal as well. De Paul has three assists over his last four contests.
MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Angel Correa - Closes scoring in win Correa scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus Osasuna.
Impact Correa took advantage of a perfect ball from Rodrigo De Paul to score from very close range late in the second half. The Argentina international has scored just seven goals this season, but it's worth noting he has netted his last two while coming off the bench, a role he'll probably have in the final weeks of the season as well.
MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Saul Niguez - Drills rocket to score Sunday Saul scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus Osasuna.
Impact Saul found the back of the net midway through the second half with an absolute rocket, as he pounced on a rebound inside the box and drilled an impossible shot for Sergio Herrera. The former Chelsea midfielder scored for the first time since late January, but given he's made just two starts in that span, he doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside on an overall basis.
