Atletico Madrid released their squad list for the game against Mallorca, and the most notable absence was that of José María Giménez, although this was expected. Two of Savic, Felipe, and Hermoso will have to form a partnership at CB.
Likewise, Arias could replace Trippier, if Simeone decides to rotate. In midfield, Simeone has gone for Thomes, Koke, Saúl, Llorente, Herrera, and Vitolo. Llorente could be given game time, after being left out for the game against Celta Vigo.
In attack, Atletico could go for the Diego Costa and Alvaro Morata partnership. The pair played together last time out and could partner each other again in Mallorca.
In the meantime, it remains to be seen whether Simeone will continue to keep his faith in Joao Félix or decide to rest him and play Ángel Correa. It must be said that the Portuguese was substituted in the two league games, in which Atletico also drew.
