Atletico Madrid XI vs Man United: Confirmed starting lineup, team news, injury latest for Champions League tie

Atletico Madrid face Manchester United in the Champions League tonight with Joao Felix and Antoine Griezmann up front.

A place in the quarter-finals is up for grabs with the game level at 1-1 after the first leg in Spain.

Absent for Atletico at Old Trafford will be Sime Vrsaljko, Daniel Wass, Thomas Lemar and Matheus Cunha.

Diego Simeone has Geoffrey Kondogbia, Mario Hermoso and Jose Maria Gimenez available for selection after they travelled with the squad, following injury problems.

Centre-back Gimenez came off late during Friday’s win over Cadiz yet has shaken off any concerns over a muscle problem.

Marcos Llorente continues filling in for Vrsaljko at right wing-back in Los Rojiblancos’ 3-5-2 formation. Renan Lodi comes in on the left flank amid Yannick Carrasco’s suspension.

Kondogbia and Hermoso, plus Luis Suarez and Angel Correa, are on the bench.

Atletico Madrid XI: Oblak; Llorente, Savic, Gimenez, Reinildo, Lodi; Koke, Herrera, De Paul; Felix, Griezmann.

Subs: Lecomte, Christian, Felipe, Hermoso, Gonzalez, Ibra, Kondogbia, Serrano, Moreno, Carlos, Suarez, Correa.
