Four shots in loss Coutinho shot four times (once on goal) during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Atleti.
Impact Coutinho has certainly secured a place in the starting XI, though that seems to mean little as Barcelona continue to show no attacking flair. The midfielder shot four times but only one tested Jan Oblak in an all-around horrendous showing. Coutinho will hope to bounce back against Valencia after the international break.

Mediocre in second start Coutinho shot twice on goal and sent in four inaccurate crosses during Sunday's 3-0 win over Levante.
Impact Coutinho made his second start since returning from injury and failed to impress. It was his best performance since returning, but nothing to write home about. The midfielder will likely start away to Benfica on Wednesday, where he will be looking for his breakout performance.

Decent off bench Coutinho sent in three crosses (two accurate) during 22 minutes off the bench during Thursday's scoreless draw with Cadiz.
Impact Coutinho did well in his limited time off the bench, and looked fully healthy. It remains to be seen when he will be ready for a full 90 minutes, but he could move back into a starting role as soon as Sunday's clash with Levante.

Barcelona held by winless Granada at Camp Nou in Liga
Barcelona needed a 90th-minute equalizer by defender Ronald Araújo to salvage a 1-1 home draw against Granada in the Spanish leagueSEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • Associated Press
Not ready for full ninety Coutinho (knee) won't play a full 90 minutes during Monday's clash with Granada, according to manager Ronald Koeman.
Impact Coutinho played during the midweek game against Bayern Munich, and did well, but still isn't quite ready for the full 90 minutes. The limited time will certainly limit Coutinho's upside, though in a match where he is heavily favored the midfielder could have fantasy value even without playing the entire match.

Returns in loss Coutinho put two shots off target in 24 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Bayern Munich.
Impact Coutinho has been out for the better part of eight months before making his return in an otherwise disappointing loss. With more injuries ruining the depth in all areas of the pitch, it wouldn't be surprising to see Coutinho get a regular spot in the starting lineup with five games to play in the next two weeks.

Makes squad list Tuesday Coutinho (knee) is in the squad list for Tuesday's match against Bayern Munich.
Impact Coutinho will be an option Tuesday, but it's hard to see him getting the start given his absence. There's a good chance he'll be used more in coming weeks given other injuries in the side, but big minutes right away seem unlikely.

Needs another week Coutinho (knee) "needs another week of training" before he could be considered eligible to play, according to manager Ronald Koeman.
Impact Coutinho is expected to serve some sort of role this season, though it's likely dependent on how fit he can get before the lineup becomes more structured. With this news on the back of a successful preseason, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Brazilian return to the pitch by September at the latest -- a much sooner date than some may have expected.

May return eventually Coutinho (knee) improved his fitness during the preseason but it remains to be seen when he'll return or where he'll play, according to Javier Miguel of AS.
Impact Coutinho is still out for a while, but with rumors circling that he could get the #10 jersey, it seems like he'll stick around at Barcelona no matter how long it takes him to return.
