"We'll see if Wass can play or not"

Kieran Trippier's transfer to Newcastle during the January transfer window facilitated Daniel Wass's arrival at Atletico Madrid. The Dane left Valencia in the hope of taking the next step in his career, but since making the move he has had little opportunity in Simeone's squad.

The right back made his debut at the Camp Nou where 'Los Rojiblancos' were beaten 4-2 by Barcelona. In the closing minutes of the match, a one on one with Ferran Torres provoked an injury. This was a problem that left him sidelined for a number of weeks.

In his press conference ahead of the clash with Sevilla, Diego Simeone spoke about the player's situation: "I spoke with him at least two weeks ago, explaining what I've been seeing, feeling, since his arrival and his injury, and the little amount of game time he has been having".

"In the closing stages of the season we have to decide who we can really count on, I was choosing other players. He wasn't able to have a run of matches which is the only way I can see him playing better. From there, we will see if he can play or not", he said.
