Following an eventful Friday which saw Atlético Madrid drawn against Sevilla in next week’s Copa del Rey quarterfinal and forced into an aircraft change, Diego Simeone’s men have touched down in the Basque Country ahead of Saturday’s contest against white-hot Eibar.
Los colchoneros will not be at full strength for this encounter, as three players (Diego Costa, Stefan Savić and Gabi) will miss out through suspension and Filipe Luís continues to recover from a hamstring injury. As such, we may see a less-open Atlético taking the pitch against a side that has rung up six wins from the past seven.
