Lamine Yamal and Antoine Griezmann - (London Standard)

The Culers are also without Frenkie de Jong, who is close to returning from but this game will come too soon.

De Jong has been suffering from a hamstring problem himself, while Marc Bernal has returned from an ankle sprain.

Andreas Christensen is their other absentee, as he continues his rehabilitation from an ACL tear.

As for Atleti, their main injury concern is Jan Oblak, who has remained sidelined with a muscle injury in his side.

The problem kept him out of the last 16 tie against Tottenham, which Atletico won 7-5 on aggregate, as well as their three previous league encounters against Getafe, Real Madrid and Barca over the weekend.

Also out are midfielders Rodrigo Mendoza and Pablo Barrios, with Mendoza nursing an ankle problem of his own and Barrios out with a thigh injury.
