Atletico vs Inter. Predicted line-ups and latest news

Tomorrow, on March 13th, in the return leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, Atlético Madrid will engage in a contest against Inter Milan on their home turf. The initial encounter in Milan concluded with the Italian side emerging triumphant with a scoreline of 1-0. Dailysports has prepared the latest developments regarding the match, including the possible line-ups for both teams.

Atlético is undergoing its most challenging phase of the season. Diego Simeone's squad has secured victory in merely 2 out of the preceding 9 matches across all competitions. Over the weekend, they succumbed to Cadiz by a margin of 0-2, a team that had struggled to secure a win since September.

The decline in Atlético's performance can be attributed to the injury suffered by their talisman, Antoine Griezmann, sustained precisely during the clash against Inter at the Giuseppe Meazza. Regrettably, the Frenchman will be unable to participate in the upcoming fixture.

Furthermore, Atlético will be without the services of the seasoned defender Cesar Azpilicueta, central defender Jose Gimenez, and winger Thomas Lemar.

It is anticipated that, for the first time in this UEFA Champions League campaign, Atlético's new acquisition, central defender Gabriel Paulista, who joined from Valencia as a free agent during the winter transfer window, will feature prominently.

As for Inter, in comparison to their recent match against Bologna (1-0), they have only one fresh setback. The left-back Carlos Augusto will certainly be unavailable in Madrid. Central midfielder Stefano Sensi and right-back Juan Cuadrado continue to be sidelined.

The participation of Marco Arnautovic, the author of the decisive goal in the first leg, remains uncertain. However, there is an expectation that he will ultimately be included in the squad.

Possible Atlético line-up

• Oblak – Molina, Savic, Gabriel Paulista, Mandava, Lino – Koke, Barrios, De Paul – Depay, Morata

Possible Inter line-up

• Sommer – Darmian, Pavard, Bastoni, de Vrij, Dimarco – Barella, Chalhanoglu, Mkhitaryan – Marcus Thuram, Lautaro Martinez

Kick-off at 21:00 Central European Time.
