GAME LOG

Suffers leg injury Azpilicueta finished the match against Valencia with discomfort and underwent medical tests that confirmed a moderate muscle injury in his right leg, the club announced.
Impact Azpilicueta will be sidelined for two to three weeks after sustaining a moderate muscle injury in his right leg against Valencia. His absence is unlikely to impact the starting lineup since he has only started two of the last 15 matches.
FEBRUARY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Plays entire match Azpilicueta registered one cross (zero accurate) and four tackles in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Deportivo Alaves.
Impact Azpilicueta appeared in his first match since Sep 22, returning from a leg injury. He continues his starting role in the back line, starting all six league games played, collecting 13 clearances, 12 tackles (five won) while keeping two blocks.
NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Unused against Mallorca Azpilicueta (leg) was an unused option off the bench against Mallorca on Nov 10.
Impact Azpilicueta was an option for the first time since September after missing time with a leg injury. With the international break, the defender was able to get an extra week of training to work on match fitness. Prior to his injury, the defender started five games at center back, making eight tackles, 10 clearances and two crosses (one accurate).
NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not available Wednesday Azpilicueta (leg) wasn't called up for Wednesday's trip to Benfica.
Impact Azpilicueta isn't in the traveling squad for Wednesday's clash as he continues to deal with a muscular issue in his left leg. Jose Maria Gimenez should slot into the starting XI for the Champions League clash with Azpilicueta unavailable.
OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Leg injury confirmed Azpilicueta has been confirmed to have suffered a muscle injury in his left leg, according to his club.
Impact Azpilicueta could be heading for time on the sidelines after leaving Sunday's match early, as he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury. The club didn't give a timeline for his return, as it will depend on his recovery program. Either way, he likely will miss time, hoping for a speedy recovery with what appears to be a less serious injury. He had started in five of the club's seven matches this season, so this will force a change, with Axel Witsel or Jose Maria Gimenez being his likely replacements while out.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Off injured Azpilicueta was subbed off due to injury in the 45th minute during Sunday's 1-1 draw to Rayo.
Impact Azpilicueta suffered a small muscle injury that saw him last just one half on Sunday. It was his first match played since Aug 31, sharing playing time with Reinildo in the back line, recording 10 clearances with eight tackles (three won) in five appearances.
SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Extends contract Azpilicueta has extended his contract one season until 2025 with Atletico Madrid, according to the club.
Impact Azpilicueta is returning to Madrid for another season, with the 34-year-old having inked an extension with the club. He will likely hold a similar role to the past season, serving in a rotational spot, as he only started in 17 of his 31 appearances last campaign.
JULY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Limited role Azpilicueta assisted twice in 25 appearances (14 starts) in La Liga.
Impact Azpilicueta was a nice depth option with the ability to play at full-back and center-back. He didn't fully embrace either role, and he never really took the starting job, but he still played 1,421 minutes due to his versatility. Azpilicueta should continue a stable role with Atleti heading into the final season of his contract.
MAY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Credited with assist Monday Azpilicueta assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 2-1 victory over Villarreal.
Impact Azpilicueta set up Saul Niguez with an extremely clever touch, as the defender, who was positioned as a striker, gave the midfielder enough space to score with a first-time touch from inside the box. Azpilicueta earns most of his value via defensive stats, however, and he's not likely to continue cracking the scoresheet on a regular basis in future matches.
APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to bench Azpilicueta (knee) is back on the bench for Wednesday's clash with Inter.
Impact Azpilicueta returns to the bench after a knee injury threatened to keep him out until after the international break. The defender got back in full training earlier in the week and was able to turn that into a spot on the bench ahead of schedule and before the break.
MARCH 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Back in training Azpilicueta (knee) returned to training Tuesday, Mundo Deportivo reports.
Impact Azpilicueta was a surprising addition back into the group training ahead of Wednesday's clash with Inter. While it's not entirely clear if he will be available to make a return during Wednesday's clash it's a good sign to get him back on the pitch. Especially with Jose Maria Gimenez (thigh) in doubt.
MARCH 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Azpilicueta set to extend Atletico Madrid contract Atletico Madrid are set to extend Cesar Azpilicueta’s contract until 2025. The 34-year-old defender joined the club from Chelsea last summer...
MARCH 6, 2024 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Suffers torn meniscus Azpilicueta suffered a torn mensicus during Thursday's 4-2 win over Real Madrid, the club announced Friday.
Impact Azpilicueta is set for a spell on the sideline after suffering the torn meniscus. The exact timeframe for his return is uncertain but at the very least he will miss a month. With Azpilicueta out Axel Witsel will likely continue as a starting option in the back three in all competitions.
JANUARY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Returns off bench Azpilicueta returned from a knock off the bench during Wednesday's 5-3 loss to Real Madrid.
Impact Azpilicueta picked up a knock in the Copa del Rey but got straight back on the pitch. The defender should be a consistent first team option both in the starting XI and off the bench now that he avoided that injury scare.
JANUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Picks up knock in Copa del Rey Azpilicueta was forced off with a knock in Sunday's Copa del Rey win over Lugo, but he is not expected to miss time due to this, Alejandro Moreno of Diario AS reports.
Impact The defender was expected to play the full 90 against Lugo, but he left the game in the final stages of the second half due to a knock. However, he didn't suffer a serious injury and should be available to feature in the Spanish Super Cup this weekend.
JANUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Busy defensively in UCL win Azpilicueta made two tackles (both won), five clearances and one interception and was shown a yellow card during Wednesday's 3-2 Champions League win over Feyenoord.
Impact Azpilicueta had one of his best performances since joining Atletico, making several key disruptions against a very dangerous Feyenoord offense and pacing his side in clearances, racking up more than he did in all other matches combined this season. Fantasy-wise, with more performances like this the defender will make up for the lack of contributions on the offensive end he'll have for not playing at his natural right-back position.
OCTOBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sets up goal against Cadiz Azpilicueta assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-2 win over Cadiz.
Impact Azpilicueta assisted Angel Correa for Atletico's opening goal in the 32nd minute. He created two big chances and also made one tackle and one interception. He has played six games this season and this was his first goal involvement of the season. He was replaced by Javi Galan in the 81st minute due to a suspected injury.
OCTOBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Playing multiple positions Azpilicueta has started in two of Atletico Madrid's three matches in the 2023/24 season, racking up one shot on target, two chances created, five tackles (one won), two interceptio...
Impact Azpilicueta offers positional flexibility for head coach Diego Simeone, as he can play both as a center-back and as a right-back regardless of whether the team fields three, four or five defenders. Still, his path to a starting role is not completely clear, with Nahuel Molina pushing for starts at right-back and options such as Stefan Savic, Mario Hermoso and Caglar Soyuncu, as well as the injured Jose Maria Gimenez (knee), for the three centre-back spots.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Makes team debut Azpilicueta had one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 3-1 win against Granada. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 94th mi...
Impact Azpilicueta made his debut with Atletico, playing in all 90 minutes from center back in Monday's win. If he can stay healthy, the defender could be permanent member of the starting 11, especially with Reinildo (knee) still out.

Defender Cesar Azpilicueta joins Atletico Madrid after 11 seasons with Chelsea

Veteran defender César Azpilicueta has joined Atletico Madrid after 11 seasons with Chelsea

César Azpilicueta leaves Chelsea after 11 years and 9 trophies with EPL club

Cesar Azpilicueta has ended his 11-year spell at Chelsea.

César Azpilicueta leaves Chelsea after 11 years and 9 trophies with EPL club
Returning to Spain Azpilicueta will join Atletico Madrid after being released by Chelsea, signing a one-year deal Thursday.
Impact Azpilicueta last played in La Liga back in 2009-10 when he was with Osasuna. Most recently, the defender spent 11 seasons with Chelsea for which he made 349 appearances and registered 10 goals and 41 assists. At this point in his career, Azpilicueta probably shouldn't be expected to feature on a weekly basis but should provide some important depth for Atletico.
JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Leaves Chelsea Azpilicueta will depart from Chelsea after spending 11 years in London, the club announced.
Impact Azpilicueta has been a key figure to the back line for Chelsea since his arrival in 2012. He's made over 300 appearances with the team while also winning two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, two Europa League titles, one UEFA Champions League trophy and a Club World Cup. Despite a few injury-prone seasons, the defender will leave as a leader while establishing himself as of the best defenders to play for the club. At the age of 34, Azpilicueta shouldn't have a problem finding a new club as he could play a few seasons at the top level.

JUNE 30, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Continues to fall in depth Azpilicueta will end the campaign recording 16 Premier League starts in 25 appearances, totaling 46 clearances, 44 tackles (25 won) and 26 crosses (seven accurate).
Impact Azpilicueta continues to receive less starts with the team each season, making eight less starts from the 2021/2 season. It did not help that he spent two months sitting out with a concussion. He will be entering his last year on his contract, where his future with the club is up in the air with transfer offers from other clubs.
