LDC: A star will miss the Liverpool - Atletico shock

Several important meetings are on the program, including the match between Liverpool and Atletico in Madrid on Wednesday evening in Anfield. This confrontation opposes two European teams which aim for qualification for the knockout stages.

However, Atletico will have to evolve without Julian Álvarez, absent during this trip to Anfield for the start of the Champions League. According to El Chiringuitothe 25-year-old attacker is hit in the knee, an injury in the match against Villarreal last Saturday in the league (2-0 victory).

In addition to this absence, Nicolas GonzĂĄlez, Robin Le Normand and David Hancko are also uncertain for this meeting against Liverpool. Diego Simeone said after the match against Villarreal: “They are mainly blows and discomfort. We will see that after medical consultation. »»

Possibility of a duo Griezmann – Sorho in attack

For this first day of the Champions League, Atletico de Madrid could align Alexander Sorho to replace Julian Alvarez. The 29 -year -old Norwegian striker could thus be associated with Antoine Griezmann in attack on the Liverpool field.
