Yannick Carrasco - Suspended one more UCL match Carrasco is suspended for the first leg of the quarter-finals matchup against Manchester City.

Impact Carrasco missed the entire Manchester United tie and will miss the first leg against Man City. He's healthy again and should contend for a starting spot in the second leg, no matter how the first one goes. He's recently back from a nose injury but played 45 minutes off the bench in league play over the weekend.

Yannick Carrasco - Creates three chances in win Carrasco subbed into Saturday's match against Alaves at halftime, and he took two shots (one on target) and created three chances in the 4-1 victory.

Impact For varying reasons, Carrasco has started just two out of Atletico's last 10 games in all competitions, but he replaced Thomas Lemar at halftime Sunday and immediately improved his side's thrust in attack. It's possible he returns to the XI for Tuesday's Champions League quarterfinal against Manchester City off the back of this performance.

Hector Herrera - Will miss Champs League game Herrera (thigh) will remain out for Tuesday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Herrera picked up a thigh issue over the break and it'll keep him out at least a week's worth of matches. He'd started the prior seven matches and will continue to be replaced with Geoffrey Kondogbia most likely to remain in the XI against Manchester City.

Jose Gimenez - Out against Man City Gimenez will miss Tuesday's trip to Manchester after suffering an undisclosed injury over the weekend.

Impact It's a tough injury for Gimenez to get just before playing Manchester City, which means a return to the XI for Felipe is likely. Gimenez had started every match since early February, including both legs against Manchester United, and will be missed in a huge spot Tuesday.

Jose Gimenez - Leaves late in win Gimenez made three interceptions and left with a potential problem after 86 minutes of Saturday's 4-1 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Gimenez would be a bad loss ahead of Tuesday's UCL trip to Manchester City but he has a tendency to pick up muscular knocks after playing for longer runs in a season. Should he be forced to miss any matches, Felipe could get a chance to start.

Jan Oblak - Concedes one in win Oblak conceded one goal and made no saves during Saturday's 4-1 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Oblak looks good at the moment with just four goals conceded and four clean sheets kept in his last eight starts. This run of form is sure to be tested in Tuesday's UCL tie at Manchester City, even with Oblak and Atleti's defense back on track.

Matheus Cunha - Logs assist off bench Cunha provided one assist from one chance created and put two shots on target during 18 minutes of Saturday's 4-1 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Cunha returned after missing seven matches with a knee injury and looked solid enough with the shot that led to a goal for Joao Felix before setting up Luis Suarez in the final moments of the contest. That being said, it's unlikely he breaks into the lineup against Manchester City given that both Felix and Suarez found the net.

Luis Suarez - Scores twice off bench Suarez scored two goals (one penalty) in 29 minutes of Saturday's 2-1 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Suarez has come off the bench in five straight appearances due to a dip in form but played well as he reached double-digit goals for yet another season. His efforts could cause some wrinkles for Tuesday's match at Manchester City in the UCL Quarterfinals.

APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Felix - Scores twice in win Felix scored two goals from four shots (two on goal) and created three chances during Saturday's 4-1 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Felix looks better each week and capitalized on two good chances in ways he hadn't been doing until February of this season, as he's scored seven goals and logged two assists in his last eight matches. As a result, he'll be a key piece to the equation in Tuesday's UCL tie against Manchester City.

APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sime Vrsaljko - Logs assist in win Vrsaljko logged one assist from one chance created during Saturday's 4-1 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Vrsaljko returned to the lineup after missing three games with a lower body injury and helped Joao Felix to the first goal of the contest. Now that he's back, Marcos Llorente can move up the pitch and isn't stuck playing right-back or right-wing-back, a change that should improve things for everyone. Up next is the UCL tie against Manchester City, which should be an intense match for Vrsaljko.
