Team News: Atletico Madrid's Jose Gimenez returns for Athletic Bilbao test

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has made just one change for his side's La Liga clash with Athletic Bilbao.

Jose Gimenez returns in the centre of the defence as Stefan Savic moves to the bench after the Serbian started the game against Benfica in midweek.

Luciano Vietto keeps his place within the starting XI as Atletico look to go level on points with league leaders Barcelona, who drew yesterday.

Only Eneko Boveda keeps his place from Bilbao's 2-2 draw with AZ Alkmaar on Thursday as Benat, Inaki Williams and top scorer Aritz Aduriz all come back into the team.

Atletico Madrid: Oblak; Juanfran, Godin, Gimenez, Filipe Luis; Gabi, Saul, Koke, Carrasco; Griezmann, Vietto Subs: Moya, Savic, Jesus Gamez, Thomas, Oliver, Correa, Torres

Athletic Bilbao: Iraizoz; Boveda, Balenziaga, Laporte, Etxeita; Iturraspe, Benat, Garcia; Williams, Aduriz, De Marcos
