Atlético: Surprises in the starting eleven!
Cholo is making moves! Simeone surprised everyone in Thursday’s training session by testing a starting eleven with important changes for the crucial match against Las Palmas. The main surprise would be Griezmann’s place on the bench, opening the door for Sorloth to partner Julián in attack.
This lineup could be the one chosen for Saturday, with a midfield reminiscent of the match against Valladolid: Giuliano and Gallagher on the wings, with Barrios and Koke leading in the center. De Paul, already recovered, would wait for his opportunity from the bench.
In defense, Llorente and Galán would take charge of the full-back positions, while Le Normand and Lenglet would form the solid central partnership in front of Oblak. Good news also with Lino’s return to the group, who would be available for the match. Atlético are looking to add all 21 points at stake to continue climbing positions and fight for the Champions League spots. Come on, Atleti!
