Suarez starred for Atleti in his 20-minute cameo appearance in Sunday’s 6-1 victory against Granada; he netted two goals, assisted another and also won a penalty, which was subsequently overturned by VAR.
There is plenty of attacking threat in Atleti’s starting XI with winger Vitolo also starting alongside Marcos Llorente, who has developed into a genuine goal-scoring threat for the side in recent months.
Mario Hermoso partners Felipe Monteiro in the heart of defence, flanked by the usual full-back duo of Kieran Trippier and Renan Lodi.
Thomas Partey and Saul Niguez are anchoring midfielder for the trip to Huesca, who have two points from their opening three matches.
