Diego Simeone confirmed that **Jan Oblak** will start against Athletic Club following a rocky showing against Elche. A big performance on Saturday would go a long way toward reaffirming the Slovenianâs status as the number-one goalkeeper. **DĂĄvid Hancko** trained normally on Friday morning, as did **Alexander SĂžrloth**. But the squad is not quite back to full strength as **Ademola Lookman** and **JosĂ© MarĂa GimĂ©nez** were noted as absent from Fridayâs training. Per Simeone, Lookman appears to be progressing through his recovery nicely and the man in black even had a little fun with the media suggesting that it was probably for the best that Lookman was subbed off early in the Copa del Rey final. Simeone received ample criticism from fans (me included) for this substitution, but it appears that it will pay off and the Nigerian will be ready for Wednesday against Arsenal. **Thiago Almada** is ineligible to play after his midweek sending-off, and per Matteo Moretto, the club is actively listening to offers for the 24-year-old Argentina international. Keeping Almada is not a priority for Atletico or for Simeone, and a good offer could see him leave in the summer. While Almada appears to be trending down, **Nico** is trending up following his brilliant outing against Elche. Per Moretto on Radio MARCA, Atleti and Juventus remain poised to sit down and talk about lowering the âŹ32M buy obligation in his loan contract. Atleti want to pay between âŹ20-25M for Nico, but Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti likes Nicoâs profile would be happy to welcoem him back to Turin.
AtlĂ©tico de Madrid hold a 81-31-65 all-time record against Athletic Club in LaLiga. In their last 10 league meetings, AtlĂ©tico have recorded a 5-1-4 record against *Lehoiak*. Atleti has not lost a home league fixture to Athletic Club since January 2011. The last time these two clubs played, Athletic defeated Atleti at San MamĂ©s. **Prediction:**3-1 Atleti win, with goals from Griezmann, Simeone and Nico Gonzalez. Nico Williams scores for Athletic Club. **Possible 11**: Oblak; Boñar, Pubill, Le Normand, DĂaz; Cardoso, Barrios, Vargas, Nico; Griezmann, Baena.
