Atletico Madrid forward Memphis Depay is a doubt for this weekend's crucial La Liga match against Barcelona after suffering a head injury while on international duty with the Netherlands. The incident occurred during the Netherlands' 2-1 friendly victory over Germany on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.
Depay was substituted in the 63rd minute following a collision. Dutch national team coach Ronald Koeman confirmed after the match that the player had sustained a head injury and was undergoing assessment. The forward did not feature in the subsequent friendly against Scotland.
Atletico Madrid have not yet issued an official medical update on Depay's condition ahead of the clash with Barcelona at the Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday, April 6, 2025. His potential absence would be a significant blow for Diego Simeone's side as they seek to strengthen their position in the top four.
The match is pivotal for both teams' ambitions in the final stretch of the La Liga season. Barcelona currently sits second in the table, while Atletico Madrid is in fourth place, battling to secure Champions League qualification for next season.
