Atleti seeks revenge in Seville
Atlético de Madrid faces Sevilla at a crucial moment in the season, seeking to recover from their recent Champions League elimination and improve their position in the table. The team travels to the Sánchez-Pizjuán with low morale, but with the opportunity to close the gap in the league.
Cholo Simeone is forced to make significant changes to the starting eleven due to injuries to Lino and De Paul, and suspensions to Giménez and Correa. In goal, Oblak returns after Musso’s participation in the Copa.
The defense features Le Normand and Lenglet in the center, while on the flanks, Galán could have the advantage over Reinildo on the left. The right side will depend on Llorente’s position, with Azpilicueta and Nahuel as alternatives.
In midfield, De Paul’s absence opens a gap that Barrios could fill, possibly accompanied by Koke, if he is fit. Otherwise, Llorente could occupy that position, creating a vacancy on the right flank. Giuliano Simeone aims for the right wing, while Gallagher has the advantage on the left.
In attack, Julián Alvarez is a definite starter and could be accompanied by Griezmann or Sorloth, who is looking for an opportunity as a starter. Atlético will have to be careful with yellow cards, as Julián, Koke, Barrios and Reinildo are one booking away from suspension and would miss the next home game against Valladolid if booked.
