Atletico squad list for Hong Kong trip

After a 1-3 win over Getafe, Atletico Madrid are on a plane to Hong Kong on Sunday. There, they will face Kitchee in the next friendly of the pre-season.

The club announced the list of players Simeone is taking to this match. It does not include Antoine Griezmann, whom the Argentinian has preferred to leave in Madrid, aware that the season will be long and that he is his best asset.

Robin Le Normand is not in the squad either. The newcomer won the European Championship with Spain recently and has also decided to give him some rest. Nahuel Molina, Rodrigo de Paul, Jose Maria Gimenez and Oblak are other players who will stay at home.

The one who is in is Sorloth. Atletico announced his signing on Saturday and, just one day later, he is in the squad to face Kitchee. Joao Felix is also included in the 'Colchonera' expedition, although it is unknown whether or not he will continue under Simeone's orders in the 2024-25 season.

This is the call-up list for Hong Kong: Moldovan, Gomis, Dani Rubio, Azpilicueta, Javi Galan, Mourino, Reinildo, Witsel, Carlos Gimenez, Kostis, Koke, Lemar, Llorente, Samu Lino, Riquelme, Vermeeren, Gismera, Jano, Javi Serrano, Taufik, Carlos Martín, Correa, Joao Félix, Sorloth and Nino.
