Apart from injury absentees in the form of Pablo Barrios, Thomas Lemar and Vitolo, Atletico have a clean health bill for the game.
Cesar Azpilicueta may come into Simeone's thinking here, as Samuel Lino would be required to start on the bench.
Going forward, neither of Angel Correa, Saul Niguez and Memphis Depay are likely to displace the front pair of Antoine Griezmann and Alvaro Morata.
Atletico Madrid possible XI: Oblak; Molina, Azpilicueta, Witsel, Hermoso, Lino; Llorente, Koke, De Paul; Griezmann, Morata.
