Bench option
Vargas (not injury related) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Liverpool.
Analysis: Vargas was not in the team the past few games due to his wavering role in the team, seemingly not having a role to start the season. However, he is back in UCL play, with the midfielder picked for the bench. His chances of earning time still seem low, although it is encouraging to see him on the team sheet.
Left out for tactical reasons
Vargas (undisclosed) was left out of Atletico Madrid's squad for Wednesday's season opener against Malaga for tactical reasons, with his future at the club uncertain.
Analysis: Vargas made 12 La Liga appearances for Atletico last season, contributing an assist, and also featured three times for Mexico at this summer's World Cup. His exclusion from the squad raises questions about his standing under Diego Simeone as the new campaign gets underway. Vargas is expected to face an uncertain path back into regular contention given the circumstances surrounding his omission. His situation will be one to monitor as speculation about his future continues.
