Simeone travels with 24 players and without Savic or Griezmann to Arabia

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.

But not Saponjic, who has not entered this call either.

Midfielders: Kondogbia, De Paul, Koke, Lemar, Llorente, Herrera, Carrasco, Javi Serrano, Moreno, Carlos Martín.
