Atlético will travel to San Sebastián in the preview of the match and Simeone takes 20 players to the Basque city. The coach of the rojiblanco team has important casualties for this match: Giménez, suspended and the injured Marcos Llorente, Griezmann, Kondogbia and Savic. The big question was whether the defender would go on the summoned list, but finally it has not been like that and the Montenegrin will play again on Saturday against Valencia (9:00 p.m.) after taking a month and a half without doing it due to a muscle injury.
Simeone took the following players to face Real Sociedad: Oblak and Lecomte, goalkeepers; Vrsaljko, Felipe, Hermoso, Lodi, Lama and Sergio, defenders; Correa, Carrasco, De Paul, Herrera, Koke, Lemar, Javi Serrano, Carlos Martín and Alberto Moreno midfielders; and Cunha, João Félix and Luis Suárez, forwards.
The rojiblanco coach takes five players from the lower categories: Javi Serrano and Carlos Martín, footballers that the rojiblanco coach usually wears in many calls, plus the defender Sergio and the midfielder Alberto Moreno. TIt also stands out in the citation of 20 Manu Lama, the son of the renowned journalist. Lama was injured for several months and returned three games ago. He played with the starting team in Parla and this Sunday against Ursaria. He is a central defender, although he has also played as a defensive midfielder. He is 20 years old, he is a very tall defender (1.92 centimeters) and has great aerial power.
Atlético will arrive in San Sebastián just for dinner. Cholo changes the usual norm, since the logical thing to do when playing so late is for Atlético to travel on the same day of the match.
