Atlético urges victory if you do not want to definitely lose the train from the access points to Champions. The draw against Athletic last day left Simeone's men sixth in the standings and Villarreal, who won yesterday, are on their heels. The lack of regularity is weighing down the rojiblancos this season, also marked by a lack of goal.
João Félix will return to the starting eleven already recovered from his sprained knee. Simeone will not be able to count on the injured Philip, a basic pillar in its defense. The rojiblanco coach will make rotations and Thomas, Llorente and Trippier seem to be some of the victims.
AS to follow: João Félix. The Portuguese is available again after the injury he suffered in this “mini-preseason” and hopes to be able to show his best version to help his team.
