On bench in return Depay (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Mallorca.

Impact Depay is finally making his return to the pitch after a 10-match absence due to a calf injury. He is only on the bench in his return, which should've been expected as they don't want to rush him back into action.

Impact Depay will be missing his eighth straight game on Friday after not making the squad list for the contest against Las Palmas. The forward has only been eligible to play in four matches this season for Madrid, as he has now dealt with two different injuries this campaign. When the attacker does return, he will most likely start in a bench role before getting any starts, as Antoine Griezmann and Alvaro Morata have a firm grasp on the starting spots for now.

Still sidelined Wednesday Depay (calf) will not be in the squad to face Celtic on Wednesday.

Impact Based on Depay's initial 2-3 recovery timeline, he could still have a chance to face Deportivo Alaves on Sunday, though it's unclear if he has even resumed training with the squad.

Still, it was an encouraging sign for the forward with a busy schedule ahead that includes a Champions League clash with Feyenoord on Wednesday. Instead, Memphis figures to be out of action through at least the international break. In his stead, Alvaro Morata figures to remain in a forward role alongside Antoine Griezmann.

Impact Memphis has missed the club's last two contests due to his thigh problem, including Tuesday's UCL clash with Lazio.

Impact At this point, Memphis should probably be considered out indefinitely with the team's release not providing much in the way of timeline.

Impact Memphis was sidelined for 11 of the club's last 12 contests last season due to his calf problem, logging just 11 minutes off the bench in his lone appearances during that stretch.

Impact Depay has been limited to just 11 minutes of playing time in La Liga since March with a calf injury -- though he did score a goal in that appearance off the bench against Valladolid -- and if he plays again this season it would only be in the finale next month. The season is all but wrapped up for Atletico Madrid so they do not want to risk sending out any injured player for the final stretch.

Since joining the club from Barcelona, he's scored four goas in eight appearances.
