Atlético Madrid aim to reconnect with La Liga against Mallorca
Atlético Madrid have lost their rhythm in La Liga in the last two games, with a defeat to Leganés and a draw against Villarreal. Simeone’s team needs to wake up to avoid losing the top train, especially with Real Madrid four points ahead and Barcelona just three behind.
The absence of Rodrigo de Paul, suspended for accumulating yellow cards, is a significant loss. Lenglet will return to defense and there may be rotations in the attack, with Sorloth as a possible starter.
Arrasate returns to the Metropolitano with Mallorca, who have lost their four games of the month without scoring a goal. The Balearic team will recover their 5-4-1 to try to restore the defensive strength of the beginning of the season. Simeone will reach 500 games in La Liga against Mallorca, becoming the eighth coach to reach this figure in the history of the competition.
