Girona hosts Atlético Madrid on Sunday at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi in an important La Liga match.
The home team is fighting against relegation, while Atlético aims to build on their recent success, having won their last three matches across competitions.
Atlético is currently fourth in the league with 34 points from 17 games, achieving 10 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses.
In their last league match, they secured a 2-1 victory over Valencia, with Koke and Antoine Griezmann playing key roles in the win.
Central defender José María Giménez is dealing with a hamstring injury and may not play. Midfielder Alex Baena is also uncertain due to a similar issue. Clément Lenglet is out due to a knee injury and is expected to be sidelined until January after confirming he’ll need several weeks to recover.
On a brighter note, Koke has been performing well in midfield, and Marcos Llorente is likely to be fit to play. Coach Simeone noted that Llorente looked good in training and that a decision on his starting status will be made shortly before the match.
Potential starting XI for Atletico Madrid: Oblak; Molina, Pubill, Hancko, Ruggeri; Simeone, Barrios, Koke, Gonzalez; Sorloth, Alvarez.
The match is set to begin at 1pm BST on Sunday, December 21.
The match will be broadcast live in the UK on Sky Sports and DAZN.
