Atletico Madrid is preparing to travel to Glasgow for their upcoming Champions League clash with Celtic, but it appears that they will be without five players for the match. The good news for Los Colchoneros is that Stefan Savic is expected to return after missing the game against Celta Vigo due to discomfort following international duty.
However, his regular central defensive partner, Jose Maria Gimenez, remains sidelined due to his recent injury. He will be joined on the sidelines by Samuel Lino, Reinildo Mandava, Memphis Depay, and Thomas Lemar.
Lino sustained an injury during Atletico’s 3-0 victory over Celta, coming off at halftime and being replaced by Rodrigo Riquelme. Either Riquelme or Javi Galan will likely occupy the left side for Diego Simeone, while the manager has several options to choose from for his back three, including Savic, Mario Hermoso, Cesar Azpilicueta, Caglar Soyuncu, and Axel Witsel.”
