Fernando Torres is expected to bench Kevin Gameiro when Atletico Madrid travel to Celta Vigo in Saturday’s early La Liga kick-off.
Atleti could only draw against new boys Alaves and Leganes in their opening two matches, forcing Diego Simeone to call on his older guard as Los Colchoneros seek a first victory against similarly-winless Celta.
Elsewhere, Nicolas Gaitan is set to start on the substitutes’ bench for a third straight game, while Sime Vrsajlko misses out completely, AS reporting the former Sassuolo defender “has a lot of work ahead” if he is to displace Juanfran Torres at right-back.
Atleti XI (probable): Oblak; Juanfran, Savic, Godin, Filipe; Saul, Gabi, Augusto, Koke; Griezmann, Torres
