Emergency situation

Emergency situation. This is what happens to Atlético for tomorrow’s game against Villarreal. Between penalties, injuries and Trippier’s departure, Simeone only has 15 players available from the first squad. The coach of the Madrid team will have to complete the list with players from the subsidiary: Javi Serrano, Carlos Martín, Giuliano … already common in the first team calls.

Atlético will not be able to count on Villarreal or Luis Suárez or Giménez, injured. Trippier is gone. And Savic, Herrera and Griezmann are injured. The squad was 21 players, now one less with the departure of the English side. So the rojiblanco coach has 15 players left to face the Castellón team. For the dispute of the Spanish Super Cup, the panorama will change, since Simeone will have at his disposal Suarez, Gimenez and they could possibly go both Savic as Herrera.

Atlético, on the other hand, is still looking for a right-back who can make up for Trippier’s loss. Like a lot Mukiele, from Leipzig, although his signing could be around 20 million euros. More economical is Sidibé, who ends his contract with Monaco. Berta combs the market in search of a right back. Before Rayo Majadahonda, in Copa, Marcos Llorente placeholder image He occupied that demarcation in the first half and Vrsaljko, in the second. At the moment, and the most immediate is the league game, Simeone has the right thing.
