MEMPHIS DEPAY NEWS

Could return for season finale Depay (calf) might be able to feature in Atletico's season finale against Villarreal on June 4, but the club is being very cautious with him, Marca reported Thursday.

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.

Suffers thigh injury Depay has strained a muscle in his thigh, Atletico announced Wednesday. He will be questionable for Sunday's La Liga clash against Real Betis.

Impact Depay scored a goal before subbing out just past the hour mark of Netherlands' Euro qualifier win against Gibraltar on Monday, but medical tests upon his return to Atletico Madrid have revealed this thigh injury. Depay had started three consecutive games for his club prior to the international break, scoring two goals from eight total shots in that span, but Alvaro Morata or Angel Correa could replace him alongside Antoine Griezmann in the front-two against Betis if necessary.

Transfer to Atletico finalized Depay has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Atletico Madrid after transferring from Barcelona, the club announced Friday.

Impact Depay's stint in Barcelona started off well under manager Ronald Koeman as he scored eight goals with two assists across his first 19 starts with the club in La Liga and the Champions League through November 2021. But then injury struck, Xavi took over as manager and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was signed and Depay has been on the fringes of the squad ever since. The 28-year-old is now moving to Atletico, where he will probably rotate regularly with Antoine Griezmann, Alvaro Morata and Angel Correa in the front-two following the recent departures of Joao Felix and Matheus Cunha from the club on loans.
