Atlético Madrid travels for Champions League

Atlético de Madrid travels to Bruges to face Club Brugge tomorrow in the Champions League. The Cholo's team is going to measure itself against the Belgian team in this playoff stage and see how it can advance to the Champions League round of 16.

Injuries in the squad

He travels to Belgium with an unusual squad, as he has significant absences who had to stay in Spain to recover from injuries, such is the case of the Spaniard Pablo Barrios and the Argentine Nicolás González, who have muscle problems. They were two important players in Cholo Simeone's lineup, so their absence could lead to changes in the tactical scheme he presents against Brugge tomorrow.

The call-up for the match in Belgium consists of three goalkeepers: Oblak, Musso, and Esquivel, followed by defenders Molina, Pubill, Lenglet, Hancko, Le Normand, Giménez, and Ruggieri. In the midfield, Cholo Simeone summoned Koke, Cardoso, Llorente, Almada, Baena, Obed Vargas, and Rodrigo Mendoza, and prepared his attack with forwards Giuliano Simeone, Sorloth, Griezmann, Julián Álvarez, and Lookman.
