The rojiblanco coach will be able to count on Vrsaljko and Héctor Herrera, while Carrasco is doubtful
The Atlético de Madrid closes a month of February almost to forget against Villarreal Club de Fútbol. Diego Pablo Simeone’s men have two consecutive defeats for the first time this season (Levante in LaLiga and Chelsea in the Champions League), so they hope to close the tap to give a new blow on the table in the leadership of the First Division.
The Argentine coach recovers troops for the game. Sime Vrsaljko returns after overcoming the muscular discomfort that prevented him from being against Chelsea and is expected to start . Hector Herrera also returns, who has already passed the Covid-19, but will be on the bench. L a great doubt is Yannick Carrasco, who is still limping and it might not come to the crash. In case it cannot be from the game, the left-handed flank would be for Renan Lodi. Above, Simeone hopes to reactivate the bite of his trident: Thomas Lemar, Joao Fëlix and Luis Suárez. Kieran Trippier is dismissed due to suspension (in fact, starting on Monday, March 1, you can play again), while Josema Giménez will not be due to injury.
In front, arrive a Villarreal that historically has been a bone for Atleti . Those of Unai Emery, in addition, come to the duel after defeating RB Salzburg during the week, 2-1 , in the return of the UEFA Europa League round of 32 . Curiously, the Austrian team was Atleti’s rival in the Champions group stage . Of course, the ‘Submarino’ has almost two months without winning in the League: since he beat Celta 0-4 at the beginning of January. Since then, five defeats and a draw chain Emery’s , which has the doubts from Mario Gaspar and Rubén Peña. In case neither of them arrives, Juan Foyth or Jaume Costa could act on the right side. On the left, meanwhile, the Basque coach could bet with a double winger, with Alfonso Pedraza and Pervis Estupiñán , as he did on Thursday against Salzburg.
