Matheus Cunha - Available vs. Liverpool Cunha (thigh) is in the preliminary squad for Tuesday's clash with Liverpool.

Impact Cunha is in the preliminary squad Tuesday, but is unlikely to get any playing time ahead of Antoine Griezmann or Luis Suarez. The winger could come off the bench, but that is largely game script dependent, and shouldn't be counted on.

Marcos Llorente - Makes initial squad, as expected Llorente (hamstring) is in the initial squad list for Tuesday's showdown with Liverpool.

Impact Llorente was expected to be back for this match, and should start the match. The midfielder's injury was never considered serious, and this return is perfectly in line with expectations, that said soft-tissue injuries can linger, and are easy to re-aggravate, it's likely that Llorente won't play the full 90.

Felipe - Bigger role ahead? Felipe could be in line for a bigger role with Stefan Savic dealing with a thigh injury.

Impact Felipe has made just five appearances this season, mainly serving as the fifth defensive option, but with Stefan Savic struggling with a thigh injury Felipe is likely the next man up. Depending on the severity of the injury Felipe could be starting straight after the international break, though he does little to move the needle fantasy-wise.

Kieran Trippier - Consistent playing time Trippier has appeared in each of the last five matches, though he hasn't gone a full 90 since August.

Impact Trippier is the starting right-back, but with the rotation options available he has failed to go the full 90, and consistently comes off the pitch in the second half. His limited time combined with Atleti's low-scoring system have left Trippier without a goal or assist heading into the international break.

Yannick Carrasco - Goal drought continues Carrasco hasn't scored or assisted in six matches heading into the international break.

Impact Carrasco has been a consistent fixture in the starting XI, but has done little with that opportunity, and is failing to create much. The midfielder took part in 16 goals (six goals, 10 assists) in 2020, but has only one of each in 2021. Carrasco will hope to regain his offensive flair after the international break.

Angel Correa - Struggling for game time Correa has only started one of the last three matches, and hasn't scored since August.

Impact Correa has had a tough start to the season, and has seemingly fallen out of the starting XI. The forward hasn't scored since the first two matches of the season, and with Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann in front of him on the depth chart he's unlikely to play much.

Stefan Savic - Thigh injury confirmed Savic (thigh) suffered an injury against Barcelona, and the injury has been confirmed after an MRI.

Impact Savic's injury could be more serious than initially hoped, after a thigh injury was confirmed. It's uncertain whether it's a hamstring or not, but it seems likely off how he acted. Savic is facing a Champions League suspension, and will also be sidelined in the league with this injury. Felipe will likely replace him in the back three.

Marcos Llorente - Expected back vs. Liverpool Llorente (hamstring) should be fit for an Oct. 19 clash with Liverpool, according to as.com.

Impact Llorente suffered a hamstring injury against Barcelona, but should be healthy before a decisive Champions League clash with Liverpool. The midfielder is a crucial part of the Atleti midfield, and Rodrigo De Paul would be a significant downgrade were Llorente unable to play.

Koke - Busy in win Koke made four tackles and committed two fouls during Saturday's 2-0 win over Barcelona.

Impact Koke answered any and all questions regarding his fitness, playing 90 hard minutes and controlling the midfield.
