Atlético’s coach was happy after the win garnered at the Martínez Valero.

Giménez, at the beginning of the first half, and Mandžukić, at the start of the second, sentenced Elche, signing a new victory.

Diego Pablo Simeone said his team is ready for a difficult match such as the one they expect in Elche.

Miranda and Ansaldi are the absences due to injury for this match for which Simeone has called Lucas, who joins the 19 available players to travel to Elche.

Medical tests have revealed that the winger suffers a grade II sprain to the internal lateral ligament of his left knee.

Lucas was radiant in his debut and Jesús Gámez stressed the hunger of a team that wants to "win every match."

Atlético’s coach analysed the red and white victory against Hospitalet (0-3) in the King's Cup.

Players from both teams took the field of the Municipal Stadium of Hospitalet with a shirt claiming football without violence.

Atlético de Madrid won Hospitalet with clarity in the first leg match of the round of 32 of King’s Cup. Griezmann, Gabi from a penalty, and Cristian Rodríguez scored the goals in the triumph.

Simeone provided the list of called players after the training, in which there are four home-grown players.
