Atletico Madrid are set to take on Getafe on Sunday, in a La Liga fixture at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez in the southern suburbs of Madrid.
Atlético Madrid have displayed impressive consistency recently, securing four victories out of their last five La Liga fixtures, with one match ending in a draw.
Since their surprising opening-week defeat, they have remained unbeaten in the league. Sitting in fourth place in the La Liga table with 25 points from 12 games, they have recorded a tally of seven wins, four draws, and just a single loss.
Atletico Madrid team news
The visitors face a notable issue in goal as first-choice goalkeeper Jan Oblak is doubtful due to knee discomfort sustained while on international duty with Slovenia.
Although medical tests have ruled out serious injury, Oblak has not fully participated in training and may miss the upcoming match. In his absence, the Argentine deputy Juan Musso is expected to step in.
Additionally, Atlético’s defensive options are limited with confirmed absence of Robin Le Normand and uncertainty surrounding Johnny Cardoso’s availability.
Atlético’s leading striker Julián Álvarez, who has netted 7 goals in 12 league appearances, is also a doubt after missing two training sessions with flu.
He didn’t feature for Argentina during the recent international break due to vaccination regulations linked to travel to Angola. His participation in Friday’s session will be crucial in deciding his fitness for Sunday’s game.
Atletico Madrid predicted lineup
Possible Atletico Madrid starting XI: Musso; Llorente, Giménez, Hancko, Ruggeri; Koke, Barrios; Simeone, Baena, Álvarez; Sørloth.
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 5:30pm BST on Sunday, 23rd November.
