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.

MAY 8 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Massive display off the bench Depay scored one goal to go with six shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 (5-3) penalty shootout victory over Inter Milan.

Impact Depay was named to the bench for the first time in four appearances but responded by taking a season-high six shots, culminating in his sixth goal of the year, as Atletico chased an equalizer on aggregate versus Inter in the second half. He will go into a match with Barcelona on Sunday full of confidence after this performance but he may find himself playing reduced minutes with Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann still ahead of him in the pecking order at the striker position.

Attempts five crosses Depay recorded four shots (three on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-1 win against Betis.

Impact Depay was central to Atleti's ability to provide service into the box during their 2-1 victory over Real Betis on Sunday. In addition to his five crosses (one accurate) and four corners, Depay chipped in one tackle (one won) defensively. His three shots on target, three chances created and five corners were all season-high efforts. Depay has now appeared in eight of Atleti's last 10 matches (four starts). Over that span, Depay has scored three times, provided an assist and created nine chances.

Scores as substitute Depay scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 5-0 victory over Las Palmas.

Impact Depay subbed on in the second half and scored in the 87th minute to seal the deal with his fifth goal in the season. It was also his third goal in the last five appearances (two starts). The forward has only five starts in the campaign and has been mostly a backup option in the club.

Scores again Depay scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-1 win versus Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Depay scored his fourth goal of the season Wednesday. The goal marks this first time this season Depay has scored in back-to-back matches and just the second time he's started in back-to-back matches. Manager Diego Simeone made seven changes to the lineup that defeated Valencia over the weekend, but he opted to keep Depay in the team. Depay will hope that his recent uptick in form will coincide with an uptick in regular minutes, as well.
