 Atletico Madrid trio in squad for Manchester United match despite recent injuries

Atletico trio in squad for Man United match despite recent injuries

Jose Gimenez, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Mario Hermoso have all been named in the Atletico Madrid squad for Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg with Manchester United.

The trio were expected to be unavailable for selection against the Red Devils, with Gimenez suffering a muscle issue against Cadiz on Friday, while Kondogbia and Hermoso have also recently been out through injury.

However, all three have been included in the travelling squad for the second leg of the last-16 tie, which is level at 1-1 following the first leg at Wanda Metropolitano last month.

Key duo Stefan Savic and Koke have also recovered from recent problems to be included by head coach Diego Simeone for the contest in England.

Atletico are without a number of first-team players, though, with Thomas Lemar, Sime Vrsaljko, Matheus Cunha and Daniel Wass out of the squad through injury.

Yannick Carrasco is also unavailable for selection through suspension, but Antoine Griezmann and Luis Suarez have both made the trip to Manchester.

Full squad: Oblak, Lecomte, Gomez, Gimenez, Lodi, Savic, Felipe, Hermoso, Reinildo, Fran Gonzalez, Ibra, Kondogbia, De Paul, Koke, Llorente, Herrera, Serrano, Martin, Moreno, Felix, Griezmann, Suarez, Correa
