Atletico Madrid predicted XI v PSG: Antoine Griezmann to partner Julian Alvarez up front | OneFootball

Atletico Madrid head into Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League encounter against Paris Saint-Germain without some key players.

José María Giménez is suspended for the tie at the Parc des Princes, whilst Diego Simeone also has injuries to contend with. Robin Le Normand, Thomas Lemar and Marco Llorente will all miss out for Atletico Madrid. Antoine Griezmann is expected to partner former Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez up front with Simeone expected to deploy his side in a 5-3-2.

It means that Alexander Sorloth will have to settle for a place on the bench against PSG. Former Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher may find himself in a familiar position with the La Liga outfit likely to opt for a midfield trio of Koke, Rodrigo De Paul, and Pablo Barrios.
