Back with team Soyuncu (groin) began his return to team training Monday ahead of Saturday's trip to Celta Vigo.
Impact Soyuncu began to get back on the pitch in team training during Monday's session. The defender likely won't be ready for a start Saturday but if he can train throughout the week a spot on the bench in the first match after the break isn't out of the question.

Remains unavailable Thursday Soyuncu (groin) was not called up versus Osasuna on Thursday.
Impact With the short week, Soyuncu probably shouldn't be expected to be available versus Cadiz on Thursday and figures to remain a doubt for Wednesday's Champions League matchup with Feyenoord. At this point, until the defender is spotted back on the training pitch, he should probably be considered out indefinitely.

Out against Valencia Soyuncu (groin) is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Valencia.
Impact Soyuncu returned from international duty with a groin issue, and with a heavy calendar upon Atletico Madrid in the coming weeks, the coaching staff decided not to risk him. His next chance to feature will come Tuesday next week in the UEFA Champions League opener against Lazio.

Being checked for groin issue Soyuncu came back from international duty with Turkey with a groin injury, the club announced Thursday.
Impact The club's statement indicated that Soyuncu was still being evaluated but at this point, he should be considered doubtful at best for Saturday's clash with Valencia. Prior to the international break, the defender featured exclusively off the bench, logging a combined 45 minutes in two appearances. As such, Soyuncu's potential absence shouldn't be expected to significantly impact the club's starting XI for Saturday.

Yet to start in LaLiga Soyuncu has made two appearances off the bench in the 2023/24 LaLiga season, racking up four clearances and one interception across 44 combined minutes of play.
Impact Soyuncu joined Atletico Madrid in the summer to provide depth on defense and that's exactly what he's done, but the former Leicester star has yet to start for his new club. With multiple options to handle the center-back roles, his time as a starter might come when Diego Simeone starts rotating the squad, and that might happen sooner rather than later with the UEFA Champions League starting shortly after the international break.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Headed for Spain Soyuncu agreed to a four-year contract with Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

He's been rumored to a transfer next summer and may not start 2022-23 in the club.
