Atletico Madrid team news

Atletico Madrid is close to a full squad, with only one significant concern. Rodrigo Mendoza is doubtful for the match and likely to miss out, while Pablo Barrios has returned to training but may start on the bench.

January addition Ademola Lookman has strengthened Atletico’s attack, already contributing goals and assists since his move from Atalanta in the winter transfer window.

Alexander Sorloth has also been key this season, scoring over ten goals in La Liga. He is in good form, netting six goals in his last five matches, including a hat-trick against Club Brugge in the Champions League play-off round.

Before the match, Simeone warned his players not to underestimate Tottenham despite their struggles. He emphasized that current form and league standings do not dictate match outcomes, highlighting the importance of focus and intensity against a skilled Premier League side.
