Lenglet and De Paul doubts for Madrid showdown; Koke ruled out

Atletico Madrid players Clement Lenglet and Rodrigo de Paul are doubts for Wednesday's Madrid derby in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Real Madrid, because of some discomfort and a knock, respectively, suffered in Getafe.

The French centre-back, a regular starter in the Madrid team, did not train with the group on Monday morning, did specific work and is not ruled out for the match against the 'Merengues', according to club sources.

On Sunday, Lenglet was part of the starting eleven that was going to start the match against Getafe at the Coliseum, but he felt some discomfort during the pre-match warm-up and his place in the lineup was taken by Jose Maria Gimenez. The Frenchman did not play any minutes.

Simeone is also keeping an eye on Rodrigo de Paul, who received a blow in the clash against Getafe and was substituted at halftime. He trained in the gym on Monday, with recovery work, along with the rest of the starters from Sunday's match at the Coliseum, except for Samuel Lino, who trained with more intensity along with the substitutes.

Apart from Lenglet, Koke Resurreccion also did not take part in Monday's training session, due to a muscle injury suffered three weeks ago and which has prevented him from playing in the last five matches, making his presence in the derby very unlikely.
