Atlético Madrid aim to extend their winning streak in Simeone's 700th game
Atlético Madrid return to competition with four consecutive victories and Simeone wants to extend the streak in his 700th game in charge of the team. The coach will prioritize players who stayed in Madrid during the break, as South American players arrive with little time and a lot of mileage.
Nahuel Molina will miss the game due to injury. Llorente and Azpilicueta return from their injuries and point to the central line, where Lenglet has accumulated four yellow cards in his four league games. Koke and Barrios are essential in midfield, while the attack is expected to be occupied by Griezmann and Correa, who did not travel with the national team. Sorloth is the alternative to the midfielder, after a new goal in the break.
