Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone will be without three first team stars for this weekend’s La Liga clash with Celta Vigo.
Centre back Jose Gimenez is yet to feature for Simeone’s side so far in 2020/21, after entering into self-isolation following a positive coronavirus test in September, and picking up an injury on his return to training last week.
Reports from Marca have confirmed he will now remain in Madrid as Los Rojiblancos take a 23-man squad to Galicia.
