Atlético Madrid has revealed the group of only 20 players selected for the match against PSG: the central defense is very handicapped with three absences in the sector including the two theoretical starters, the midfield is also deprived of two players.
Atlético Madrid will join Paris this Tuesday on the eve of the clash against PSG, training at the end of the day at the Parc des Princes as allowed by the Champions League, and the Colchoneros have revealed the group of 20 players who will travel to France. No surprises on the Spanish side, but confirmation that coach Diego Simeone will have to seriously tinker in central defense, he whose team has already conceded eight goals in three matches.
Stupidly warned against Lille (1-3) during the last match, José Maria Gimenez is suspended for this PSG/Atlético and it is therefore the entire titular hinge which is absent since Robin The Norman is also absent due to his concussion problems which date from the end of September now. Regularly used as a right central defender when Atlético plays with three at the back, Cesar Azpilicueta is also absent for physical reasons. All that remains for Diego Simeone is Lenglet, Witsel et Reinildo to compose the axis of its defense.
In the middle, the Argentine coach will also have to do without two players, namely the precious Marcos Llorente and the Frenchman Thomas Lemar who will therefore not find France, injured again. On the other hand, Pablo Barrios is here after making his return last weekend, as is the Argentinian world champion From Paul or or the summer recruit Gallagher. In attack, Griezmann, Alvarez ou encore Giuliano Simeone are well on the trip.
The Atlético group against PSG:
Guardians: Oblak, Musso, Gomis
Defenders: Molina, Reinildo, Witsel, Lenglet, Galán, Spina, Kostis
Environments: Koke, De Paul, Barrios, Gallagher, Javi Serrano, Lino, Riquelme
Attackers: Correa, Giuliano, Griezmann, Julián Alvarez, Sorloth.
