Simeone plans two changes to Atlético Madrid lineup against Barcelona

Atlético Madrid are preparing to face Barcelona on Sunday evening in the twelfth round of La Liga, while Sport reports that Diego Simeone is considering two changes to his starting lineup.

According to Friday’s training session, Marcos Llorente could return to right-back, with Marc Pubill moving to centre-back alongside David Hancko and Alejandro Grimaldo on the left. Le Normand is not expected to start following the criticism he received after the defeat to Bayern Munich.

In midfield, the newspaper indicated that Pablo Barrios and Koke could be selected, with Giuliano Simeone and Álex Baena on the flanks. In attack, Kang-in Lee is expected to feature alongside Julián Álvarez, with the freedom to move behind him, at the expense of Alexander Sørloth and Jonathan David.
