Atlético Madrid will have little time to recover from their 1-0 loss away at Leganés, as they host German champions Bayer Leverkusen in a vital Champions League clash on Tuesday.
Atleti will be chasing a win against their German opposition as they pursue their hopes of a top 8 finish in the league phase of the competition and thus a ticket straight to the last 16 of Europe’s top competition.
The club’s Sunday training session is a good indicator of who might be available and who will be missing when Tuesday night comes, and Diario AS have all the info on who was present.
The biggest news is that José María Giménez is back in training, and could be back in the squad having been absent since Christmas.
On the other side of the coin, Alexander Sørloth was absent from training after missing the clash against Leganes and coming off at the halfway point of the cup tie against Elche.
This will be disappointing news for fans of Atleti, given the great performance the Norwegian put in during that cup tie, when he scored two goals.
We will have to wait to see how Diego Simeone deals with the absence of his summer signing against a Leverkusen side on great form right now.
