Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid have several players back from injury for Tuesday's visit of Manchester United. Alejandro Grimaldo returned from a muscle overload to start against Alaves and should keep his place at left-back. Pablo Barrios and Alexander Sorloth also returned, with Barrios playing until the 57th minute and Sorloth introduced in the 73rd minute.

Marc Pubill looks set to take the right-back role, allowing Marcos Llorente to play further forward. Dávid Hancko and Cristian Romero are in line to start in central defence, while Álex Baena and Lee Kang-In should also return to the eleven after appearing as substitutes against Alaves. Jan Oblak remains the expected goalkeeper.

Manchester United

Patrick Dorgu is the main injury concern for the Red Devils in Madrid, with the full-back out through a hamstring problem, having started two of the last five matches. Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui are also unavailable at the back, while Manuel Ugarte is out with a knee issue.

Diogo Dalot and Marcus Rashford both look set to return to the starting eleven after limited involvement against Tottenham Hotspur, with Rashford playing just one minute in that game. Amad, who made his first start of the campaign against Tottenham after returning from injury, is a fitness doubt for the trip to Madrid.
