The 20-year-old, who has shown significant promise in his 14 Liga appearances this season, has returned to training after sustaining an injury against Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League.
Atletico went on to qualify for the last eight of Europe's premier club competition and the return of Saul is a further boost to a club that will have been buoyed by coach Diego Simeone signing a new five-year deal.
Last season's champions sit fourth in the table, nine points off Luis Enrique's leaders, and will hope to leapfrog Valencia - in third, one point above them - with victory at rock-bottom Cordoba.
And for that reason, Saul described the match as a "trap" for Atletico.
"I'm very happy to be back training with the team-mates [and] feeling [like] a footballer again," Saul told Atletico's official website.
"I think that this match [against Cordoba] is a trap.
"We must not relax at all, because Cordoba is a team that, especially at home, has complicated things for big teams."
Griezmann was on target twice for Atleti, but Nabil Ghilas was also at the double for Cordoba, making him a man Simeone's men will be wary of on this occasion.
