Official: Atletico Madrid squad list to face Barcelona

As Atletico Madrid look to extend their unbeaten run in La Liga, they face league leaders Barcelona as their next hurdle.

Diego Simeone’s side will be travelling to Spotify Camp Nou to face Xavi’s Barcelona on Sunday and ahead of the match, the Rojiblancos boss has announced the squad list that will make the trip to Catalonia.

Unsurprisingly, former Barça forward Memphis Depay misses out as he is still not fully recovered from the injury he sustained during the international break.

The Dutchman left the Blaugrana for the Colchoneros in the January window and would have been hoping to prove a point against his former club. But he will not have the chance to do so this weekend.

Other than that, Reinildo Mandava is also not part of the squad as he is out for the season. Marcos Llorente misses out due to suspension while Geoffrey Kondogbia is also not part of the squad.

Angel Correa, who missed a day of training earlier this week due to illness, is fit and in contention to start against the leaders tomorrow at Camp Nou, partnering up with another ex-Barcelona forward in Antoine Griezmann.

Former Tottenham duo Matt Doherty and Sergio Reguilon, who have hardly played this season for Atletico Madrid, are also part of the roster that will take on Barcelona.
