Atletico Madrid are set to host Rayo Vallecano at the Riyadh Aur Metropolitano on Wednesday for their upcoming La Liga matchup. Diego Simeone’s side are eager to reverse their fortunes as the Madrid derby looms on the horizon.
Simeone’s men have struggled to kickstart their season, managing only six points from a possible fifteen in their opening five league fixtures. The Atletico squad is grappling with several key injuries going into the clash. Alexander Sorloth remains unavailable after picking up a red card for a reckless challenge against Mallorca.
Defensive stalwarts Jose Maria Gimenez, Alex Baena, and Thiago Almada are sidelined with muscle problems and won’t feature until sometime in October, while Johnny Cardoso is ruled out after sustaining an ankle injury during the team’s Monday training session.
Atletico Madrid Predicted XI: Oblak; Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet, Hancko; Simeone, Koke, Barrios, Gallagher; Raspadori, Alvarez
23rd September Wednesday at 8:30pm BST.
For fans in the United Kingdom, the fixture will be broadcast live on Premier Sports.
