Impact Wass has made 152 appearances in all competitions during his three-and-a-half years in Valencia, transitioning from a right back to right midfield and now he plays mostly in central midfield. Its a crowded position at Atletico, and he might be used more back on the right side where his only competition will be Sime Vrsaljko and sometimes Marcos Llorente now that Kieran Trippier has left the club. Meanwhile, this likely means more playing for Uros Racic and Yunus Musah at Valencia.

Impact Oblak was beaten twice in the first half but a late surge kept his side unbeaten in their last three matches. With only one clean sheet in his last eight league starts, Oblak still has plenty more to do if he can recover his world-class form this season. Up next is a trip to Barcelona.

Impact Felix has certainly found his confidence recently but was replaced by the impactful Matheus Cunha (one goal, one assist) before Atleti began their comeback. With his substitution coming ahead of the game's key moments, he'll hope to make a bigger splash in the next match against Barcelona.

Yannick Carrasco - Provides assists, leaves late Carrasco provided one assist from four chances created on 10 crosses (five accurate) and had to be subbed off in the 99th minute of Saturday's 3-2 win over Valencia.

Impact With his team 2-0 down, Carrasco's work rate is one of the big reasons Atleti made the full comeback, so his late replacement could be more down to fatigue than any injury. Up next is a trip to Barcelona, which remain an inconsistent side with defensive problems.

Matheus Cunha - Scores, assists in win Cunha scored one goal and provided one assist in 33 minutes of Saturday's 3-2 win over Valencia.

Impact Cunha helped save the day for Los Colchoneros after going down 2-0 by halftime. With just one start in the last six matches, Cunha is by no means a first choice option. However he should've done plenty to raise his stock with this performance While Antoine Griezmann (thigh) is unfit. Up next is a trip to Barcelona, which have conceded the fewest goals to forwards in La Liga.

Antoine Griezmann - Not in training Griezmann (thigh) was not in training with Atletico on Thursday, according to Belen Sanchez Garcia of La Sexta deportes.

Impact Griezmann has missed four consecutive La Liga matches with various injuries, and he will be a doubt for Saturday's clash against Valencia as well. Angel Correa (undisclosed) is also questionable, meaning Joao Felix or Matheus Cunha might get an opportunity to start alongside Luis Suarez in the game.

Impact Correa played 55 minutes in Wednesday's Copa del Rey defeat against Real Sociedad before coming off with an injury, and he is being evaluated further ahead of Saturday's La Liga clash against Valencia.

Matheus Cunha - Has quiet game in draw Cunha took a shot on target and won one of one tackles in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Villarreal.

Impact With Luis Suarez suspended and Antoine Griezmann (thigh) injured, Cunha made his third La Liga start since joining Atletico on Sunday. He wasn't very effective, however, and will likely return to the bench when the starters are available again.

Yannick Carrasco - Creates two chances in draw Carrasco took a shot and created two chances in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Villarreal. He also won one of two tackles in the match.

Impact Correa intercepted a Dani Parejo pass just inside the midfield line on Sunday and then immediately uncorked a screamer to open the scoring with his seventh goal of the season. He's just two scores away from his personal record in La Liga, and he should remain in the lineup for the time being while Antoine Griezmann (thigh) is injured. On Jan. 22 he will face 10th-placed Valencia, which have scored 32 goals in 20 matches.
