Sørloth breaks into Atlético’s starting XI to face Elche | OneFootball

It's official. The Atlético de Madrid has announced the eleven for their first La Liga match at the Metropolitano, where they will seek to earn their first three points against Elche CF. A first home lineup without surprises following the practices of the past few days and the injuries suffered. An eleven with a 4-4-2 scheme that will vary with the course of the match and the movement of the players chosen by Diego Pablo Simeone.

The Argentine coach has had no setbacks and Oblak will be the starting goalkeeper. As in the RCDE Stadium, the Atlético will count in their eleven to face Elche with Hancko and Le Normand, as the pair of central defenders. A line of four completed by Marcos Llorente and Ruggeri. The Italian, like the Slovak, will play their first official match minutes at the Metropolitano.

Also making his home debut is Johnny Cardoso. The midfielder is the main bet of Cholo, who will have him accompanied by Pablo Barrios. The youth player replaces Gallagher, after starting La Liga from the bench due to an injury that prevented him from being at 100%. Now, Barrios will seek to be the compass of the midfield. All accompanied by Giuliano Simeone, who continues to be the right-hand man, and a Thiago Almada who excites the fans a lot.

Up front and after the muscle injury of Álex Baena, the chosen one by Simeone has been Sørloth. The Norwegian, who was the last change against Español, will seek to assert himself alongside Julián Alvarez. They will be in charge of seeking the first victory of the league season.
