Saul Niguez - Set for suspension returnSaul is back from his one-game suspension and will be available to face Las Palmas on Saturday.

ImpactSaul missed the 1-0 loss to Sevilla due to yellow-card accumulation, but the central midfielder should be available when Atletico faces Las Palmas on Saturday. It's uncertain whether he'll start or not, as he's alternated between the starting lineup and the bench throughout the campaign.

Alvaro Morata - Diagnosed with knee sprainMorata suffered a bone contusion and a sprain of the internal lateral ligament of his right knee, the club announced Monday.

ImpactMorata should be expected to miss a minimum of three weeks depending on the severity of the sprain, though the team didn't offer any specific recovery timeline. It's a tough blow for the forward, as it will keep him out for at least the first leg of the Champions League knockout round against Inter Milan on Feb. 20, in addition to 2-3 La Liga clashes as well. Memphis Depay figures to step into the starting XI with Morata unavailable, though Angel Correa could also be in contention.

Jose Maria Gimenez - Pictured at trainingGimenez (thigh) was pictured on the training pitch ahead of Saturday's matchup with Las Palmas.

ImpactGimenez has missed the club's last three contests due to his thigh problem but appears to be trending in the right direction. If the defender can make the squad versus Las Palmas, it could open the door for him to break back into the starting XI against Inter Milan on Feb. 20. Prior to getting hurt, Gimenez started three of his last four contests in which he recorded one shot (on target), 16 clearances and five tackles (three won).

Alvaro Morata - Picks up knee injuryMorata was taken off at halftime during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Sevilla due to an apparent knee injury, according to the club.

ImpactMorata looks to possibly be heading for the sidelines for a couple of matches, having been forced off early in the club's most recent contest after twisting his knee. It appears the injury concern around their player may be somewhat serious, as he was viewed leaving the stadium on crutches. However, the club will hope for only a minor issue, with the forward being one of their main starters, appearing in 22 games this season while notching 13 goals. If he does miss any time, expect Memphis Depay and Angel Correa to see more minutes in his role, taking over the spot at starting striker until Morata heals from his latest injury.
