Atlético prepares the visit of Real Sociedad without Savic or Llorente

There were no news in the mattress training and Simeone's men will not be able to count on the presence of Savic to face Real Sociedad tomorrow, Sunday. The leader of LaLiga will visit the Wanda Metropolitano to close the day. Marcos Llorente's loss was taken for granted from the moment the midfielder suffered a recurrence of his injury last Tuesday against Liverpool. Savic for his part, it was expected that he would have been able to reach tomorrow's match, but he has not exercised with his teammates all week.

The absence of the Montenegrin and some defensive doubts from the team could make Simeone consider facing the duel with a defense of four made up of Trippier, Felipe, Giménez and Lodi. In case of giving up the three centrals, the possible sacrificed would be Mario Hermoso. Something that would condition the start of the rojiblancas moves since the left-handed center-back is in charge of getting the ball to Lemar, Joao and Carrasco on that side.

It remains to be seen what decision a Simeone makes who has worked with the rest of the available players to measure himself against those of Imanol Alguacil. With Cunha and Giménez already incorporated into the group since last week, Cholo will only have the two casualties mentioned. He will therefore have to choose especially in the offensive plot. After starting on the bench against Liverpool, it seems difficult to see Luis Suárez out of the eleven again, who seems to have found the path to scoring again.

The Cholo has to choose in attack

In case of recovering the system of the four defenders, the doubts would focus on the midfield and the forward. A midfield where, after the performance shown against Liverpool, Koke, Lemar and De Paul seem fixed, it would be necessary to see if the fourth place would be occupied by Kondogbia or an attacking footballer such as Correa or Carrasco. Above, the puzzle will be great also seeing the Joao's moment of form and the brace scored by Griezmann. We will have to wait until tomorrow to find out Simeone's plans.
