Luis Suárez enters the scene

Luis Suarez go to Atlético rescue. The Uruguayan has already trained with all his teammates and is back after four games without playing. The rojiblanco team won Barcelona and Valencia, although they showed many problems with the goal. In Champions he drew against Lokomotiv Y Bayern and the feelings were the same: the need to have Suárez, Atlético's goal man. The forward is available, Simeone has not said if he will start but the most logical thing is that he starts from the beginning and plays until the physical endures (follow the game live on AS.com). With the forward, Atlético is another, he feels strong, capable of elaborating and finishing the plays. His return marks the match against a Valladolid in need of points.

The pucelanos only won out to Granada (1-3), on your last visit, and they tied against Huesca (2-2). They lost against Real Madrid (1-0), Betis (2-0) and Villarreal (2-0). They do not seem numbers that can scare Cholo's men, but Valladolid has always shown itself as a team that has given it much war against Atlético. It will be presented at the Wanda Metropolitano with Marcos André, one of the revelations of LaLiga.

Last season, At the end of june, Atleti won by the minimum with a goal from Vitolo in the final stretch of the clash. It was another Atleti, yes. The one of now has more the ball, arrives more, plays better and more beautiful. But that is not synonymous with triumph, as the Madrid team could well see in their last Champions League games. Valladolid will seek to be stronger in defense, since he has conceded in all league matches. Roque Mesa could be a starter due to the losses, since they will not be neither Guardiola nor Orellana, important players for the visiting team coach.

Simeone will have to rotate. Salzburg awaits on Wednesday. He has the last-minute setback of the loss of Carrasco but there are people to complicate the life of the Valladolid defense. João Félix and Suárez point to the pair in attack and the reborn Lemar could have minutes. Atlético continues to appeal to the strength of Wanda Metropolitano (more than a year without losing an official competition match at home)

The Athletic look askance at Sevilla-Real Madrid. An Atletico victory and a Madrid defeat would leave Simeone's men in a privileged position facing the next derby. But first he must win over Sergio's team, who promises a battle.
