Simeone heads to London with Nico González, Cardoso left out | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid is in London, ready for the match tomorrow at 21:00 that will pit them against Arsenal in the Champions League. The rojiblancos are coming off a narrow win over Osasuna thanks to a lone goal from Thiago Almada, and are looking to continue their good run against the Londoners, especially after their latest victory in Europe’s top competition against Eintracht Frankfurt, which included a ‘manita’.

For this reason, the club has already officially announced the squad that will travel to England. Simeone has taken a total of 24 players, among whom Nico González stands out, having recovered from his head injury against the Navarrese in the domestic league, and the absence of Johnny Cardoso, who will miss his eighth consecutive match. In addition, Clément Lenglet returns to the squad after serving his suspension.

Otherwise, nothing out of the ordinary. For the goal, Jan Oblak, Juan Musso, and Salvador Esquivel are traveling, with Esquivel being the starting goalkeeper for Atlético Madrileño and the usual third-choice keeper for the first team this season.

In defense, José María Giménez, Robin Le Normand, Matteo Ruggeri, Marcos Llorente, Nahuel Molina, Dávid Hancko, Marc Pubill, and Javi Galán will be available.

The magic in midfield will be provided by Conor Gallagher, Koke Resurrección, Pablo Barrios, Álex Baena, and Thiago Almada.

Meanwhile, the offensive responsibilities will fall to Carlos Martín, Giuliano Simeone, Antoine Griezmann, Alexander Sørloth, Giacomo Raspadori, and Julián Álvarez.
