Scores first goal of tournament Depay scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), nine crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat against Austria.

Impact Depay finally got on the scoresheet at Euro 2024, bagging a goal in the 75th minute off of a Wout Weghorst assist. He will look to be more clinical heading into the round of 16, as he had not scored before this goal despite having nine shots in the tournament.

Takes two shots on Friday Depay had two shots (one on target), sent in four crosses (two accurate) and suffered one foul during Friday's scoreless draw against France.

Impact Depay was dangerous as he was in the debut, but still had some moments here, including a dangerous shot which rebound could've lead to the game-winning goal if it wasn't for a teammate who was offside making an interference on the play. With six shots over two matches, the forward will try to open his scoring account during Tuesday's clash against Austria.

Limited by injury Depay scored five times and assisted once in 23 appearances (nine starts) in La Liga.

Impact Depay produced six goal contributions but was held to under 1,000 minutes on the pitch by injury once more. Depay is an excellent striker, there's no doubting that, but fitness continues to be a major issue for him. If he can stay fit Depay could be in for a big role in 2024/25, especially if Antoine Griezmann departs Atleti.

Named to squad list Depay (strain) is an option for Sunday's match against Celta Vigo after making the squad list.

Impact Depay could be making his return after getting back into training this week, as he has been named to the squad list for Sunday's match. This bright news for the club, although he will likley serve off the bench if healthy, hopefully getting time to test his legs.

Back on training pitch Depay (strain) was viewed on the training with Wednesday ahead of Sunday's match against Celta Vigo.

Impact Depay appears to be closing in on his return, as he was spotted on the training pitch Wednesday. However, it is unclear if he was individually training or with the team, leaving a little uncertainty about his current status. Either way, this is positive news for the forward, as he will now look to reach full fitness before Sunday's match.

Set for three to four weeks out Depay is set to miss the next three to four weeks due to a muscle injury in his left leg, Issac Suarez and David G. Medina of Marca.com reported.

Impact Depay is once again heading back to the sidelines for an extended period, as he has suffered an injury that will leave him out for around a month after already 12 games earlier this season due to a different complication. This will leave the forward out for the club's highly important UCL matches against Dortmund over the next two weeks. Luckily, it shouldn't affect the club too much, as he has only started in nine of his 23 appearances this season. However, it will still be a decent loss in depth, with Angel Correa most likely seeing more time now due to Depay's absence.

The performance marked just the second occasion Depay has played more than 45 minutes in all competitions. Depay will have to earn his minutes going forward with subsequent positive performances, as Athletico Madrid have elected to reinforce their attack by bringing in Moises Keane on loan.
