Deportivo Alaves

Ville Koski will be out for four to five weeks. Tests this week confirmed a right quadriceps injury for the centre-back, who had started each of the last five matches, and Facundo Garcés remains suspended as well. Nicolás Valentini, who has made just two starts in that period, looks set to fill in alongside Nahuel Tenaglia at the back.

Abde Rebbach is back in contention after adductor discomfort, with a full week of training behind him pointing to a start on the left. Angel Pérez is also expected to start after appearing against Athletic Bilbao, having started four of the last five games, while Lucas Boyé should start in attack after scoring four goals in his past five appearances.

Atletico Madrid

Alejandro Grimaldo trained normally with Atlético Madrid's squad for a second straight day on 7 October as he recovered from a quadriceps problem, but Cristian Romero is expected to start in the back four at Alavés. Pablo Barrios has also recovered from a muscle injury in time to be considered again.

Alexander Sørloth returned to group training on 5 October after nearly two months out with a muscle problem, though he is not expected to start. Atlético have won four of their last five league matches, their only defeat a 3-0 loss at Athletic Bilbao, and go into the game second with sixteen points from seven matches.
