The Culers are also without Frenkie de Jong, who is close to returns from their respective issues but this game will come too soon.

De Jong has been suffering from a hamstring problem himself, while Marc Bernal has returned from an ankle sprain.

Andreas Christensen is their other absentee, as he continues his rehabilitation from an ACL tear.

As for Atleti, their main injury concern is Jan Oblak, who has remained sidelined with a muscle injury in his side.

Also out are midfielders Rodrigo Mendoza and Pablo Barrios, with Mendoza nursing an ankle problem of his own and Barrios out with a thigh injury.
