MAJADAHONDA, Madrid – Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone called up on Friday 16 players from the first team along with other two from the B squad for the upcoming La Liga clash against Eibar.

Four first team players will be excluded from Simeone’s list because of injuries: Colombian defender Santiago Arias had a fractured rib in international play in a friendly against Venezuela; Montenegrin defender Stefan Savic sustained a severe muscle injury while also being on international duty with his national team at the UEFA Nations League; Spanish winger Victor “Vitolo” Machin has been out over a knee injury; and Nikola Kalinic because of a right ankle injury.

In good news, however, Atletico Madrid’s right back Juanfran Torres will take part in the Eibar match after getting sidelined due to a thigh muscle injury.

The Atletico-Eibar clash is set to kick off at Atletico’s home Wanda Metropolitano stadium in Madrid on Saturday.
