More problems for Simeone in the face of the clash against Levante. Kondogbia has not trained with the rest of his teammates, since it suffers a groin trauma produced in the match against Real Sociedad and it is a serious doubt for this Thursday. The midfielder came out in the second half against the Basque team and his contest for the new league game is presumed complicated. The player has a bruise and we will have to see his evolution in the next few days.
Simeone will not be able to count for the clash neither with Marcos Llorente nor with Lemar, both injured. Cholo’s casualties accumulate in the center of the field, although he has Koke, De Paul and Herrera in that central plot.
The good news for the Atlético coach is that Savic is already with the group. The defender will be available against Levante. Simeone put Felipe and Hermoso before Real Sociedad and left out Giménez, who risked to play against Liverpool. Cholo has the four centrals. It will be necessary to see if it returns to play with a 4-4-2 or changes to a 5-3-2 by having all the centrals ready.
