Rodrigo Mendoza
ATMForced off versus Osasuna
Mendoza exited Tuesday's visit to Osasuna after suffering a muscular injury, the severity of which is yet to be assessed.
Analysis: Mendoza made his fourth start in the last two months and missed one chance before being forced to leave the field in the 18th minute. He's now questionable ahead of the final couple of fixtures of the La Liga campaign. With both Pablo Barrios (thigh) and Johnny Cardoso (ankle) also dealing with physical problems, Robin Le Normand took Mendoza's place Tuesday, leaving Koke and Obed Vargas as the team's only central midfielders on the pitch.
Able to tally an assist
Rodrigo Mendoza assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 loss against Elche.
Analysis: Mendoza was largely ineffective as Atletico Madrid adjusted to playing a man down, but he was still able to get an assist. He'll need to be more aggressive to keep this up against Athletic, though the matchup is favorable as the side has given up 45 goals so far in La Liga play.
