Team News: Antoine Griezmann leads depleted Atletico Madrid attack

Griezmann leads depleted Atleti attack

Antoine Griezmann has been tasked with leading the line for Atletico Madrid in their final game of the La Liga season away at Granada.

With Fernando Torres, Mario Mandzukic and Arda Turan all out through injury, the Frenchman will provide Atletico's main attacking threat at Los Carmenes.

Elsewhere, Jose Gimenez also drops out of the starting lineup, as Diego Simeone turns to Miranda, Saul Niguez, Tiago Mendes and Raul Garcia from the off.

Granada manager Jose Ramon Sandoval has made two changes to his team by bringing Ruben Perez and Robert Ibanez into the fold.

Javi Marquez and Lass Bangoura are the men to make way following last weekend's 3-0 win away at Real Sociedad, which keeps the Nazaries in a strong position as they look to avoid the drop.

Atletico, on the other hand, require just one point this evening to secure third place in the league table.

Granada XI: Roberto; Nyom, Babin, Mainz, Juan Carlos; Perez, Iturra; Ibanez, Piti, Rochina; El-Arabi Subs: Oier, Foulquier, Juan Cala, Fran Rico, Candeias, Success, Riki

Atletico Madrid XI: Oblak; Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Siqueira; Saul, Tiago, Gabi, Koke; Raul Garcia, Griezmann Subs: Moya, Jesus Gamez, Gimenez, Ansaldi, Suarez, Cani, Jimenez
