Geoffrey Kondogbia - Makes initial squad Kondogbia (strain) is in the initial squad for Saturday's trip to Alaves.

Impact Kondogbia was expected to make the squad after making a full return to training and he seems to still be on schedule to return Saturday. The midfielder is likely to go straight back into the starting XI if fully fit, but he may be on the bench to avoid overly stressing his leg. Koke also returns to the squad, and is in a similar situation to Kondogbia, the two could split time Saturday.

Koke - Returns to individual training Koke (thigh) is back in individual training on the side, according to El Desmarque.

Impact Koke has returned to individual training, which, while a good sign puts him firmly in the questionable category for Saturday's trip to Alaves. The midfielder would be straight back into the starting XI if fully fit, but if he's not 100% look for Rodrigo De Paul to get another start.

Mario Hermoso - Assists off bench Hermoso provided one assist on two chances created during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Getafe.

Luis Suarez - Nets brace in win Suarez scored twice on four shots (three on goal) during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Getafe.

Impact Suarez scored his third goal in three starts during Tuesday's win, as he looks to move towards his 21 goal tally from last season. The forward is one of the best in the world when in form, and seems to have found form to kick start his season. Next up is a Saturday trip away to Alaves.

Kieran Trippier - Creates two chances in win Trippier made two clearances and two interceptions in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Getafe. He also created two chances in the match.

Impact Trippier was a threat with his crossing and corner kicks on Tuesday, but he was hooked after the hour mark as manager Diego Simeone searched for -- and found -- the winning formula against Getafe. On Saturday he faces another team which on paper looks to be an easy game, this time against last-placed Alaves, which have scored just once in four matches this season.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Yannick Carrasco - Creates two chances in win Carrasco took a shot and created two chances in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Getafe.

Impact Carrasco was back in the staring lineup on Tuesday and was active as his side came from behind to beat Getafe. On Saturday he faces Alaves, which are last place in La Liga.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Griezmann - Takes two shots in win Griezmann took two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Getafe.

Impact Atletico came from behind and beat Getafe in thrilling fashion on Tuesday, but Griezmann was subbed off before either of Luis Suarez's winning strikes. He still is yet to shoot on goal this season and, despite his legacy with the club he left two years ago, he might start seeing less starting opportunities with so much attacking talent at manager Diego Simeone's disposal.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jan Oblak - Concedes own goal against Getafe Oblak made a save but scored an own goal in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Getafe.

Impact Oblak was unfortunate with his own goal Tuesday as a powerful Stefan Mitrovic header hit the post and then bounced off Oblak's hand and into the net. But his side recovered and took all three points thanks to a late Luis Suarez brace. On Saturday he will face Alaves, which have scored just once in four La Liga matches.

Mario Hermoso - Records assist against Getafe Hermoso assisted a goal and made a clearance in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Getafe.

Impact Hermoso subbed into Tuesday's game in the 62nd minute and he set up the opening goal with his first La Liga assist in 11 months. He is likely to return to the starting lineup Saturday against Alaves if Simeone returns to the back three Atletico has used for most of the season.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sime Vrsaljko - Records assist in win Vrsaljko subbed into Tuesday's match against Getafe in the 84th minute and he assisted a goal in the 2-1 victory.

Impact Vrsaljko set up Luis Suarez's winning goal Tuesday with a cross in what was just his second appearance of the season. He is still very much the backup option at right back/right wing back behind Kieran Trippier, but maybe he can finally find come into his own this season after so many inconsistent years at Atletico thus far.

Luis Suarez - Scores brace against Getafe Suarez took four shots (three on target) and scored two goals in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Getafe.

Impact Suarez turned Tuesday's game around with a brace in the final 12 minutes, turning a would-be shock defeat into three points. He's had somewhat of a slow start this season with just three goals through six La Liga games (three starts), but he is still likely to heat up as the season moves along. He had five goals through the first 11 games last season before going on a run of 11 goals in the next nine from December to early February.

Koke - Out vs. Getafe Koke (thigh) is out for Tuesday's clash with Getafe after not making the preliminary squad.

Impact Koke is out after missing Saturday's clash with Bilbao, and is firmly questionable for Saturday's trip to Alaves. Look for Rodrigo De Paul to fill in for Koke in the heart of the Atleti midfield.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Geoffrey Kondogbia - Doesn't make initial squad Kondogbia (strain) is out of the initial squad list for Tuesday's clash with Getafe.

Impact Kondogbia was always going to be questionable with a very quick turnaround and it appears he hasn't made it through the late test. The midfielder won't be in the preliminary squad list, and will likely be replaced by Hector Herrera. Kondogbia will hope to make the team for Saturday's trip away to Alaves.

Jose Gimenez - Keeps clean sheet in draw Gimenez kept a clean sheet with three blocks made and two tackles won during Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club.

Impact Gimenez has played twice this week and recorded two clean sheets at home. He'll now head out for a longer road trip against Getafe, Deportivo Alaves and AC Milan in the UCL.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Yannick Carrasco - Comes off bench in draw Carrasco created one chance from four crosses (one accurate) and put one shot off target during 35 minutes of Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club.

Impact Carrasco put up as many crosses in a third of the match as he did in all of the UCL draw with Porto, which is a good sign of how consistent he is. A bigger squad permits more rotation, so Carrasco may not be a guarantee to start every match when he's not in top form or if there are numerous games to play in a week. Up next are trips to Getafe and Deportivo Alaves.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Suarez - Logs 35 minutes in draw Suarez created one chance and put one shot off target in 35 minutes off the bench during Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club.

Impact Suarez has scored just one goal all season but has also started just twice in La Liga. Following the arrival of Antoine Griezmann, he appears to be under a program to manage his minutes as he gets older, but his production hasn't warranted playing more frequently than he has already following a busy 2020 into the summer of 2021. Up next is a trip to Getafe, which have conceded eight goals in five games.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jan Oblak - Keeps clean sheet in draw Oblak kept a clean sheet with no saves made during Saturday's scoreless draw against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Oblak is starting to find his stride with clean sheets in consecutive matches across all competitions after conceding three goals in two matches against Villarreal and Espanyol. He'll get another two easier matchups against Getafe and Deportivo Alaves, which have combined to score two goals in their first nine total matches.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Felix - Sent off in draw Felix was sent off during Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club after earning two yellow cards.

Impact Felix is sure to miss Tuesday's trip to Getafe so long as no other sanction is handed out. This leaves Antoine Griezmann, Luis Suarez, Angel Correa and potentially Matheus Cunha to fill out the forward spots until Felix is available.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Geoffrey Kondogbia - Leaves early in draw Kondogbia picked up a knock during Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club, according to MARCA.

Impact Kondogbia isn't expected to be available for Tuesday's trip to Getafe but this injury isn't likely to keep him out for long. In his absence, Hector Herrera could make his first start of the season.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Griezmann - Takes two shots in draw Griezmann put two shots off target in 55 minutes of Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club.

Impact Griezmann still has yet to find the back of the net this season and hasn't put a shot on goal as well. One can hope that this will change in a team full of attacking talent, but at this point it's important to wait and see when he can execute. Up next is a trip to Getafe, which have scored just once this season.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Angel Correa - Starts in draw Correa put two shots off target in 60 minutes of Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club.

Impact Correa has been a starter in all five league matches this season but he's failed to put a shot on target in his last three. A combination between he an Antoine Griezmann may not have worked as well as expected, and he'll next face another defensively sound opponent in Tuesday's trip to Getafe.
