Atletico Madrid go head-to-head with Arsenal in a crucial UEFA Champions League Group phase encounter on Tuesday at the Emirates Stadium.
Both sides will be searching for a positive result to strengthen their positions in the competition, with Arsenal aiming to maintain their perfect record and Atletico looking to build on their impressive recovery after an opening-day defeat to Liverpool.
Atletico Madrid Team News
Diego Simeone’s side has received a boost with Nico González passing all necessary medical tests after suffering dizziness during Saturday’s La Liga match against Osasuna. The forward was substituted in the 42nd minute but has been cleared to travel and is available for selection at the Emirates.
Clément Lenglet returns to the squad after serving his suspension against Osasuna, providing Simeone with additional defensive options for what promises to be a challenging encounter in North London.
The only confirmed absentee for Atletico is midfielder Johnny Cardoso, who remains out with an ankle injury. The former Real Betis player left training earlier this month and has not recovered in time for the trip to London.
After a challenging start to their Champions League campaign with a 3-2 defeat at Anfield against Liverpool in September, Atletico have responded emphatically. Diego Simeone’s side bounced back with a dominant 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in their second European outing, showcasing their attacking prowess.
