Simeone breathes: Marcos Llorente could be against Liverpool

Marcos Llorente will be against Liverpool on the 19th. The Madrilenian was injured in the match against Barcelona, ​​although it does not seem anything serious. In the rojiblanco team they have total confidence that Marcos Llorente can be available for Cholo in the Champions League match against the English team. There are two weeks left for the game and the rojiblanco's muscular problems should not be a problem for him to play in the Champions League.

Marcos Llorente is one of Simeone's mainstays, one of those players who barely has any rest. His privileged physique means that Cholo does not save him for any game. Either as a right inside or as a side, and even as a forward, he is a basic footballer for Cholo. This season he has played the ten official matches that have been played so far, the eight in LaLiga and two in the Champions League. He is not being as decisive as last season, since he has not scored or assisted yet, but he is a pillar in Atlético de Simeone.

Last season he played 37 league games and eight Champions League games. Only the clash against Betis was lost. The rest played it all. In total, 3,618 minutes. His participation was decisive for the league title. He scored 12 goals and gave eleven assists. In European competition he scored a goal and gave an assist. For the Cholo, having him is life insurance. Against Barcelona he began playing as a right-winger, although later the Argentine coach gave Trippier entry and Marcos Llorente advanced his position.

The game on the 19th is vital for Atlético, which is well classified in the group stage of the Champions. They drew at home against Porto and beat Milan away. With four points he is behind the English team. A victory in the Wanda Metropolitano would flatten the rojiblanco scene in the group.

Marcos Llorente also has a great memory of Liverpool, since it was his contest, it was vital to eliminate the English team in the 2019-20 Champions League. His two goals at Anfield gave Atlético qualification and marked a before and after for Marcos Llorente not only at Atlético but also in Spanish football. If nothing abnormal happens, and following what the rojiblanco medical body thinks, Marcos Llorente will play against Liverpool.
