Atlético faces its first League match on a Friday of the season. He does it against Cádiz, after recover the Champions positions with his victory at the Benito Villamarín and before facing next Tuesday the second leg of the highest European competition against Manchester United. But, first you have to focus on the Cadiz team. And for the duel, Simeone could not count on Vrsaljko, Hermoso, Wass, Kondogbia, Lemar, Correa and Cunha in the last previous sessionall of them due to injury.
El Cholo only has 13 healthy field players and rrecover Savic and Koke, which point directly to eleven. The Montenegrin missed the game against Betis through suspension, in addition to some discomfort, and Koke has been absent against United, Celta and Betis due to physical problems. The Argentine coach plans to return to practice with his most reliable line of three centre-backs, with Savic, Gimenez and Reinildo. Carrascowho will not be able to be at Old Trafford due to suspension, would return to eleven ahead of Lodi as left winger and Llorente He would have to play as a right lane again due to the losses of Vrsaljko and Wass.
in attack, Herrera, Koke and DePaul will run the engine room and João Félix and Griezmann will form up front, a duo of the highest quality that has hardly coincided in the elevens. Simeone will have to pull from the quarry to complete the call. Lodi, who is in a great moment of form, is the alternative for the starting team. Felipe and Suárez, in addition to Lecomte, the other two options on the bench. It will be the turn for Javi Serrano, Carlos Martín, Giuliano…
Cádiz, ascendant
The team led by Sergio González arrives at the Wanda Metropolitano after meet again with the 2-0 victory against Rayo Vallecano, with goals from Rubén Alcaraz and Oussama Idrissi. It seems that Cádiz will bet on a line of three central defenders to try to complicate life for Atlético, who have traditionally suffered against these defenders. Sergio prepares an eleven that could be formed by Ledesma, Luis Hernández, Chust, Fali, Akapo, Espino, Alcaraz, Fede San Emeterio, Idrissi and the top duo with Choco Lozano and Negredo.
