Marcos Llorente

Analysis: Llorente will aim to regain a starting role after completing his ban, possibly replacing Obed Vargas in midfield but also offering an alternative to Marc Pubill at right-back. The versatile man has failed to get involved in the score sheet in his last six games across all competitions, but he's a consistent contributor of crosses and tackles, and should enjoy meaningful playing time as he gets ready to represent his country in the upcoming World Cup.

Sent off Tuesday

Llorente earned a red card during Tuesday's match against Osasuna.

Analysis: Llorente had a solid statistical outing while deployed at right-back, but the game ended early for him due to a second yellow card. The versatile man is now banned for the upcoming duel versus Girona, so his last chance to play in the league season will come against Villarreal on May 24. While Atletico might struggle without his versatility, they have the alternative of moving Marc Pubill to the flank, with a center-back like Robin Le Normand or Clement Lenglet completing the lineup.
