Luis Suarez should feature for Barcelona when they take on Atletico Madrid in Saturday’s showdown at Wanda Metropolitano.

Suarez proved his recovery from a knee injury by completing Uruguaye’s final 2018 World Cup qualifier against Bolivia during the international break.

Consequently, he should partner Lionel Messi again in a 4-4-2 formation, with Ousmane Dembele being Barca’s only major absence.

Atleti, meanwhile, have just Sime Vrsajlko missing at right-back, but there is a decision to be made up top, where Angel Correa is likely to win the spot alongside Antoine Griezmann.

The Catalans lost just once to Atleti in three years under Luis Enrique, but Ernesto Valverde has never beaten Diego Simeone as a Coach.

Atletico Madrid (probable): Oblak; Juanfran, Savic, Godin, Filipe; Koke, Gabi, Saul, Carrasco; Correa, Griezmann

Injuries/suspensions: Vrsaljko (I)

Barcelona (probable): Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Umtiti, Alba; Sergi Roberto, Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suarez
