Atletico drop Gimenez and Lenglet for Copa del Rey match

Atletico Madrid travel on Wednesday for tonight's game against Elche in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey without Clement Lenglet, who was injured against Osasuna, and Jose Maria Gimenez, who is still recovering from a muscle injury sustained three and a half weeks ago against Barcelona.

This is the full list of Atletico's players:

Goalkeepers: Jan Oblak, Juan Musso and Antonio Gomis.

Midfielders: Marcos Llorente, Pablo Barrios, Koke Resurreccion, Rodrigo de Paul, Thomas Lemar and Conor Gallagher.

Forwards: Giuliano Simeone, Samuel Lino, Rodrigo Riquelme, Antoine Griezmann, Angel Correa, Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth.
