Team News: Fernando Torres leads Atletico Madrid attack, Antoine Griezmann drops to bench

Torres leads Atletico attack

Fernando Torres has been given the nod to lead the Atletico Madrid attack alongside Raul Jimenez against Getafe, as Antoine Griezmann drops to the bench after playing in the Champions League in midweek.

Striker Mario Mandzukic doesn't even make the substitutes as he sits out with an ankle sprain after playing in Atletico's 1-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen.

Jan Oblak comes in for Miguel Moya in the Atletico net, while Diego Simeone makes a further three changes from his Champions League side.

Getafe have made two changes to the side that lost 1-0 to Real Sociedad last weekend.

Alexis is replaced in defence by Carlos Vigaray, and Fredy comes in for Juan Rodriguez in the Getafe attack.

Atletico: Oblak; Juanfran, Godin, Gimenez, Jesus Gamez; Gabi, Tiago, Koke, Turan, Jimenez, Torres.

Getafe: Guaita; Vigaray, Velazquez, Naldo, Escudero; Castro, Lacen, Sarabia; Leon, Fredy, Alvaro
