Atletico Madrid to get defender back for Celtic, but partner ruled out through injury
Atletico Madrid will travel to Glasgow on Tuesday ahead of their Champions League clash with Celtic, and it appears as if they will do so without a total of five players.
The positive news for Los Colchoneros is that Marca believe that Stefan Savic will return to action, having missed their clash against Celta Vigo. The Serbian defender returned from inatliternational duty with discomfort.
His long-time central defensive partner will not make the match – Jose Maria Gimenez is not yet recovered from his latest injury, and he will join Samuel Lino, Reinildo Mandava, Memphis Depay and Thomas Lemar on the touchline.
Lino picked up an injury during their 3-0 win over Celta, coming off at half-time to be replaced by Rodrigo Riquelme. One of Riquelme or Javi Galan will occupy the left side for Diego Simeone, while El Cholo can choose from Savic, Mario Hermoso, Cesar Azpilicueta, Caglar Soyuncu and Axel Witsel for his back three.
