Koke and Saul drop out of squad for Espanyol game
Atletico Madrid revealed via their official channels the 22 man squad for the clash with Espanyol. Koke and Saul Niguez will not play due to injury.
Diego Simeone got back Thomas Lemar and Marcos Llorente this Saturday after they recovered from their respective muscle injuries. The pair are included in the 22 man squad to face Espanyol at the Metropolitano on Sunday. Koke is out injured while Saul Niguez is suspended.
