Out with calf injury
Witsel is out for Saturday's match against Osasuna due to a calf injury, according to his club.
ANALYSIS
Witsel is not making the call Saturday, as the midfielder is a late absentee due to an injury he suffered in training. Unfortunately for the club, this does mean they will lose a regular starter as they await his recovery and further assessment. That said, Arnau Martinez is moved into the midfield in his place while Hugo Rincon sees the start at right-back.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Won't return to Atletico Madrid
Witsel won't return to Atletico Madrid after the 2024/25 season, according to Relevo.
ANALYSIS
Atletico Madrid have decided not to offer a new contract to the 35-year-old at the end of this season. Witsel, who can play both as a center-back and defensive midfielder, could generate interest from teams in the MLS and Saudi Pro League if he becomes a free agent.
