Koke - Out with thigh injury Koke was not called up for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Manchester United as he's dealing with a thigh injury.
Impact Koke played the full 90 minutes in Saturday's La Liga win over Osasuna, but he's since suffered a knock on his thigh and will miss Wednesday's game. Rodrigo De Paul will likely replace him in central midfield for the game, or Hector Herrera could be an option as well.

Ronaldo looks to pile more Champions League woe on Atletico
No competition makes Cristiano Ronaldo come more alive than the Champions LeagueFEBRUARY 22, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Antoine Griezmann - Called up for Champions League Griezmann (thigh) is in Atletico's squad list for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Manchester United.
Impact Griezmann hasn't played since suffering a thigh injury in a Copa del Rey game in early January, but he has recently rejoined training and was an unused substitute against Osasuna in La Liga at the weekend. He might be fit enough to see some playing time against United, even if it's not in a starting role yet.
FEBRUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rodrigo De Paul - Suspended in win De Paul missed Saturday's victory against Osasuna with a suspension for yellow card accumulation.
Impact De Paul was suspended for Saturday's game after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season, but he will be available for selection once again next weekend and return to the starting XI.
FEBRUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Yannick Carrasco - Suspended against Man United Carrasco is suspended for Wednesday's match against Manchester United after being sent off in the final group match.
Impact Carrasco is recently back from COVID-19 and now he's suspended midweek. That'll at least allow him to get back to full strength for the next league match. Atletico have a few options to use in Carrasco's absence, but Thomas Lemar seems most likely to get into the XI, which was the case in prior contests.
FEBRUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jan Oblak - Keeps clean sheet in win Oblak kept a clean sheet with four saves made during Saturday's 3-0 win over Osasuna.
Impact Oblak has conceded just one goal over his last two matches, which is far more normal to what we've expected from him over the last few seasons. As the team still doesn't look perfect defensively, Oblak probably isn't worth relying on in perfect fashion as he once was. Up next is the UCL match against Manchester United before facing Celta Vigo on Saturday.
FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Angel Correa - Scores off bench Correa scored one goal from one shot in nine minutes off the bench during Saturday's 3-0 win over Osasuna.
Impact Correa has been the most in-form attacker for an inconsistent team by scoring seven goals over his last seven appearances. Even with Luis Suarez finding the net in Saturday's win in impressive style, Correa could be a more reliable target ahead of Wednesday's UCL match against Manchester United.
FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Koke - Provides assist in win Koke provided one assist from one chance created and put one shot off target during Saturday's 3-0 win over Osasuna.
Impact Koke hasn't had the best of seasons, but as a defensively-focused player in the worst defensive team in years under manager Diego Simeone, he's doing well to ride the form of his side. What will be more important is if he can reproduce his assist against Manchester United in the UCL on Wednesday, as Koke and his teammates have struggled to stay consistent.
FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Suarez - Scores in win Suarez scored one goal from one shot in 72 minutes of Saturday's 3-0 win over Osasuna.
Impact Suarez has scored two times in his last four appearances, which is far better than he's been for much of the past three months. One should expect him to stay motivated in the UCL against Manchester United, which have been as inconsistent defensively as Suarez's own team this season.
FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joao Felix - Scores, assists in win Felix scored one goal from one shot and provided one assist from one chance created during Saturday's 3-0 win over Osasuna.
Impact Felix had struggled with consistency for most of 2021 but he finally seems to be back to his best form with one goal and two assists in his last three appearances (one start). It will be worth seeing if he keeps up the pace in the UCL against Manchester United before hosting Celta Vigo, which are tied for the fifth-fewest goals conceded in La Liga.

Yannick Carrasco - Back in starting XI Carrasco (COVID-19) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Osasuna.
Impact Carrasco returns to the XI Saturday after missing the last week with COVID-19. His numbers haven't been overly great this season, but part of that has been injury and illness, as he's on three goals and five assists through 22 appearances (20 starts).
FEBRUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Antoine Griezmann - Returns to training Griezmann (thigh) is back in training and hopes to be available against Osasuna, according to Javi Gomez.
Impact Griezmann was spotted in training and is reported to be available against Osasuna in a minor capacity. Barring any set-backs it appears Griezmann will be fully available against Manchester United in the Champions League.
FEBRUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jan Oblak - Concedes one in loss Oblak conceded one goal and made four saves during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Levante.
Impact Oblak performed much better than his first two matches in February, as he only conceded one instead of seven in the first two games against Barcelona and Getafe. Still, he remains on the losing end and without a clean sheet even against one of the lowest-scoring sides in the league. He needs to capitalize on his better effort from Wednesday against Osasuna, which have scored 25 goals in 24 matches so far.
FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marcos Llorente - Provides five crosses in loss Llorente provided five inaccurate crosses and put one shot off target during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Levante.
Impact The ever-versatile continues to play at right-back following the departure of Kieran Tripper and even well before his departure due to an injury for the Englishman. By now, it's become apparent that Llorente's attacking output isn't the same as it has been in past seasons, though last year's 12 goals and 11 assists could just be an anomaly. Up next is a trip to Osasuna before an all-important UCL tie against Manchester United.
FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Reinildo Mandava - Logs five crosses in loss Reinildo created one chance from five crosses during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Levante.
Impact Reinildo has featured in three matches so far since joining at the winter transfer deadline. With three chances created and 11 crosses provided in that time, he hasn't performed poorly, but the defense continues to be a weak point after a bad midweek loss. Up next is a trip to Levante before the UCL returns against Manchester United the following Wednesday.
FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Suarez - Comes off bench in loss Suarez put one shot off target in 25 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Levante.
Impact Suarez came off the bench for the first time in seven matches after Matheus Cunha needed a replacement following a potential injury. With the UCL tie against Manchester United beginning Feb. 23, he may have to play extra minutes against Osasuna if Cunha is unavailable.
FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Matheus Cunha - Hurts knee in loss Cunha failed to take a shot in 65 minutes of Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Levante. He also picked up a suspected knee injury, according to El Desmarque.
Impact Cunha had scored twice in his previous three league appearances but was replaced by Luis Suarez with plenty of time left on the clock. Up next is a trip to Osasuna before the UCL tie against Manchester United and Cunha will hope this injury doesn't keep him out for long.
FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Gimenez - Starting against Levante Gimenez (COVID-19) will feature in the starting XI versus Levante on Wednesday.
Impact Gimenez has played in just three of the club's previous 10 contests due to various ailments but has started whenever available. In that trio of appearances, the defender has generated one assist, two shots (zero on target) and 15 clearances. While he figures to serve primarily as a defensive option, Gimenez should continue to be a target in the box on freekicks and corners.
