Atlético travels this afternoon to Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia, to play the Spanish Super Cup, a four-game tournament with Madrid, Barça and Athletic and to measure themselves, against the latter, on Thursday in the semifinal (8:00 p.m., Movistar +). 26 players will travel on the rojiblanco flight, with Griezmann casualties, relapse of his injury in the derby against Villarreal, and Savic, which he forced to arrive but ultimately will not. It is not on the list. A list to which Luis Suárez and Giménez return, both sanctioned in the last game in Vila-real. Also six homegrown players, Giuliano among them. But not Saponjic, who has not entered this call either.
The rojiblanco team is scheduled to arrive at 23:15. You will stay at the Burj Rafal Marriot Hotel. Tomorrow he will exercise for the last time before the match against Athletic on the Prince Faisal pitch.

Goalkeepers: Cloud, Lecomte, Christian.
Defenses: Giménez, Felipe, Vrsaljko, Lodi, Hermoso, Rojas.
Midfielders: Kondogbia, De Paul, Koke, Lemar, Llorente, Herrera, Carrasco, Javi Serrano, Moreno, Carlos Martín.
Forwards: João Félix, Suárez, Correa, Cunha and Giuliano.
