Atlético does not have time to lick their wounds after the defeat in the Champions League against Milan, which seriously complicates the chances of being in the second round. But, before focusing on that capital duel against Porto, it’s time to look only at LaLiga.
The rojiblanco team visits Cádiz and Simeone already has João Félix working at the same pace as his teammates. The Portuguese trained for the first time with the group overcome the edema he suffered in training and left him out against Osasuna and Milan. It remains to be seen if he already travels to play for Carranza or we still have to be cautious, but the ‘7’ is already at a great pace. Trippier, for his part, continues to exercise on the sidelines, although he worked with the ball with Saponjic in an annex field and accelerates in his recovery.
Cholo meditates repeating the eleven he placed against Milan, a very offensive team but he did not manage to dismantle the Italian team. Llorente would return to occupy the position of right back, forming defense next to Savic, Giménez and Hermoso. Koke, De Paul and Lemar direct the center of the field and Carrasco brings a bite from the left. The attacking front is completed by Griezmann, with a lot of freedom of movement behind the striker, and Suárez acting as a reference above.
Felipe, who could not be against Milan due to suspension, returns to the list and will give alternatives from the bench along with Correa, Cunha, Kondogbia, Herrera, Lodi or Vrsaljko. Atlético is aware that we must leave behind the European setback and focus on the League, where a victory would put pressure on those at the top in a day where Real Madrid and Sevilla meet.
