João Félix will have to wait another week. Portuguese worked out at a good pace with the group at Atlético’s morning session in Majadahonda, but the coaching staff prefers to be cautious and the forward does not travel to Cádiz to try to resume the path of victory in the League after the hit in the Champions League against Milan. The ‘7’ will miss his third consecutive game due to an edema suffered in training after returning from the international break.
Simeone will also have the last minute drop of Renan Lodi, who suffers from acute low back pain and will not be part of the expedition that travels to Cádiz. Cholo could repeat the eleven that he lined up on Wednesday in European competition, despite the fact that the result was not as desired. A starting team with cloud under sticks, Llorente occupying the right side and forming a defensive line with Savic, Giménez and Hermoso, a midfield with Koke, De Paul and Lemar and Carrasco, Griezmann and Suárez forming the attack front.
In addition to the eleven mentioned, the list is completed Lecomte, Felipe, who returns to the team after not being able to play in the Champions League due to suspension, Vrsaljko, Kondogbia, Herrera, Correa and Cunha. Trippier worked this morning on the pitch with Saponjic, the other injured member of the squad and already touches the ball with good sensations, although the Englishman still has to get in line after suffering a grade III sprain to the left shoulder in the game against Valencia.
