Slovenia's Jan Oblak is suffering from a cervical contracture. He already missed the game against Mallorca and will again be Atletico's main absentee for the match against Valladolid.
But it's not all bad news for Simeone. The Argentinian has Depay back for the cause, who is now fully recovered from his muscle injury. After several days training at the same pace as his teammates, the coach has opted to include him in the squad.
Marcos Llorente, Stefan Savic and Reinildo Mandava are not available. The latter will not play for the rest of the season, having undergone surgery, while the midfielder is suffering from a muscle injury. The Montenegrin is suffering from a fractured toe.
To complete the backline in the absence of Savic and Reinildo, Simeone has called-up a home-grown player. Marco joins the squad list.
This is the full squad: Grbic, Gomis, Giménez, Reguilón, Doherty, Nahuel Molina, Witsel, Mario Hermoso, Marco, Kondogbia, De Paul, Koke, Lemar, Saúl Carrasco, Barrios, Griezmann, Memphis, Correa and Morata.
