Koke - Out against Bilbao Koke has been left out of Atletico's match day squad for Saturday's clash against Bilbao due to a thigh injury.
Impact Koke suffered a thigh strain in Wednesday's Champions League draw against Porto, and he will miss Saturday's match as well. With Lemar out as well, manager Diego Simeone may turn to Rodrigo De Paul, Geoffrey Kondogbia or Hector Herrera in central midfield.

Antoine Griezmann - Comes off bench against Porto Griezmann played 34 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's draw against Porto. He created one chance, sent one cross and made two tackles (one won).
Impact The Frenchman came off the bench Wednesday, as Diego Simeone chose to start Luis Suarez and Angel Correa upfront. It remains to be seen if the former Barcelona star will gain a starting role any time soon, but performances such as this one don't help his cause.
SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Suarez - Takes three shots but can't score Suarez took three shots (one on target) in Wednesday's draw against Porto. He also made one tackle.
Impact Suarez has scored just one goal this season, but the fact that he's started in each of the last three matches suggests the goals should start coming soon. Atletico are loaded in the attacking third, but Suarez should remain a reliable goalscoring threat every time he steps on the pitch.
SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Marcos Llorente - Limited impact against Porto Llorente sent one cross and made one tackle in Wednesday's draw against Porto.
Impact Llorente had an impressive season in 2020-21, but he hasn't been able to deliver the same numbers through the first few weeks of the current campaign. He's yet to score or assist in five games across all competitions, and if he can't crack the scoresheet, then his fantasy upside gets reduced considerably.
SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jan Oblak - Keeps clean sheet in UCL debut Oblak kept a clean sheet and made one save in Wednesday's draw against Porto.
Impact Oblak has been extremely reliable for Atletico Madrid and this season hasn't been any different, as he has given up one or fewer goals in four of his five appearances in all competitions. Barring any sort of injury, he should remain between the posts for Atletico throughout the remainder of the group stage.
SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Thomas Lemar - Out with muscular injury Lemar picked up a muscular injury during Wednesday's scoreless draw with Porto.
Impact Lemar is expected to be out for at least three games, as the injury is considered minor and shouldn't put him out for more than 10 days. If the situation changes, expect a return after the October international break, though the signs suggest it won't take that long. Rodrigo De Paul took his place on the pitch during Wednesday's match but Yannick Carrasco and Marcos Llorente are also options to fill Lemar's role in the attack.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • MASSLIVE.COM
Thomas Lemar - Exits early Wednesday Lemar was forced off in the 36th minute of Wednesday's match against Porto with an undisclosed issue.
Impact It's an unfortunate injury for Lemar, who started the season in decent shape, scoring in his last appearance off the bench and taking nine corners in the prior start. As for Atleti, they should be fine with a fairly deep midfield, as Rodrigo De Paul came off the bench for him Wednesday.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Angel Correa - Good for Wednesday Correa is in the squad list for Wednesday's match against Porto.
Impact Correa only went 45 minutes over the weekend and was reportedly training alone, but it seems more likely he was subbed off in the last match because Atleti weren't playing well. As long as he's back in the good graces of Diego Simeone, Correa should lead the attack Wednesday.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kieran Trippier - Makes squad list Wednesday Trippier is in the initial squad list for Wednesday's match against Porto.
Impact Trippier went 45 minutes over the weekend and was reportedly training alone, but it looks like he's healthy and available for Wednesday's match. It's unknown if he'll be given a start, as he's gone more than 45 minutes just once this season with Marcos Llorente starting a couple matches on the right flank in his place.

Champions League group stage: How to watch, streaming, odds, key players and more
How to watch, key players, odds and more. Here is everything you need to know ahead of the Champions League group stage!SEPTEMBER 13, 2021
Kieran Trippier - Plays first half in win Trippier logged 45 minutes of play during Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol and spent Monday's training session on his own, according to El Desmarque.
Impact Trippier may not have any issues, but it's still work making sure after he only played a single half over the weekend. If he can't play in Wednesday's UCL match against Porto, Sime Vrsaljko is likely to take his place on the pitch.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Angel Correa - Trains on side Correa trained on his own during Monday's session, according to El Desmarque.
Impact Correa only played for the first half of Sunday's win over Espanyol and may not be ready in time for Wednesday's UCL visit from Porto. If this proves to be the case, Antoine Griezmann is likely to take on a bigger role in his second game and Joao Felix could make his first start of the season.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Stefan Savic - Suspended for UCL enounter Savic will be suspended for the first four matches of the UCL group stage following his dismissal against Chelsea last season.
Impact Savic won't be seen in a European game until November due to this suspension, though he should still be expected to start every league encounter he's available for. In his absence, Jose Maria Gimenez, Felipe and Mario Hermoso are the top three options to feature at center-back.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jan Oblak - Conceded one goal in win Oblak conceded one goal and made two saves during Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.
Impact Oblak has conceded goals in three of his first four games to begin the season but none of those ended in defeat. One can only expect a defense with the pedigree of Oblak and his teammates to start recording shutouts with consistency, though their past efforts were truly extraordinary and he may be coming back to Earth. Up next is Wednesday's UCL match against Porto, and Oblak kept just two clean sheets in eight European matches last season.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Antoine Griezmann - Makes first Atleti start Griezmann put two shots off target and created three chances in 58 minutes of Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.
Impact Griezmann wasn't perfect, but things seemed to go better in his return to Atleti, where he was once considered one of the better forwards in the world. With more confidence in his game, hopefully Griezmann can start to pay off with more goals beginning in Wednesday's UCL match against Porto.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Suarez - Takes two shots in win Suarez took two shots (one on goal) during 71 minutes of Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.
Impact Suarez has started each of the last two matches but has yet to complete a full 90 this season. With more time in the side and by building up his fitness, this should begin to change, though now Antoine Griezmann is available to fill minutes at any point. Up next is Wednesday's UCL match against Porto, and Suarez failed to score in six European games last season.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Yannick Carrasco - Scores, assists in win Carrasco scored one goal from four shots (one on goal) and provided one assist from one chance created during Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.
Impact Carrasco combined well with Thomas Lemar to equalize and win the game in the second half. Should this goal turn into a streak for Carrasco, he'll be able to generate good value in a deep team, though his two yellow cards in four games won't help those efforts. Up next is Wednesday's UCL match against Porto before Athletic Club visit Saturday.
