**Seville, Spain** – A struggling Atlético Madrid, facing a wave of injuries and suspensions, travels to the Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium to face Sevilla in a crucial La Liga match. The team, having won only one of their last six games, is desperate for a victory to close the gap on Real Madrid following their recent slip-up, though the league lead remains a distant goal.

Diego Simeone’s side will be without Rodrigo De Paul and Samuel Lino due to muscle injuries, while José María Giménez and Ángel Correa are suspended. Giménez picked up his fifth yellow card against Espanyol, while Correa is serving a two-match ban for insulting the referee.

These absences have forced Simeone’s hand, resulting in several changes to the starting eleven. Jan Oblak returns to goal, replacing Gerónimo Rulli. The defense will see Stéphan Le Normand and Clément Lenglet at center-back, with César Azpilicueta at left-back and Nahuel Molina on the right. Marcos Llorente will shift to midfield alongside Geoffrey Kondogbia. In attack, Álvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann will lead the line, with Giuliano Simeone and Gallagher on the wings.

Despite the setbacks, Atlético will be keen to capitalize on Real Madrid’s recent stumble and pick up three vital points against a Sevilla side also experiencing difficulties on and off the pitch. The match is a significant test for Simeone’s side, who must also be wary of accumulating further yellow cards, with four players already walking a tightrope ahead of their next fixture.
