Diego Simeone wary of returning Raul Jimenez

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone admits that his side must be wary of former striker Raul Jimenez ahead of Wednesday's meeting with Benfica.

Diego Simeone has admitted that Atletico Madrid must be fully prepared for the threat posed by former striker Raul Jimenez ahead of Wednesday's meeting with Benfica.

Atletico will be up against familiar faces, with Benfica set to include Jimenez, Pizzi and Eduardo Salvio in the squad for the Champions League clash in the Spanish capital.

"Raul Jimenez played only a little for us, but he was an example of professionalism," the Atletico boss told reporters.

"Jimenez is a very dangerous striker. I also wish all the best to Toto Salvio for the friend that he is. He gave everything and worked for our club.

"We wish the best to all our former players."

Atletico and Benfica both started their Group C campaigns with victories.
