Pablo Barrios is definitely unavailable after suffering a right-leg myofascial injury during the European clash. The midfielder is expected to miss Atletico’s next few matches while recovering from the problem.
Alexander Sorloth is also a major doubt for the trip to San Sebastian due to a continuing muscular issue that has limited his involvement in training. Despite the potential absences, Simeone still has considerable depth at his disposal and several options to adjust his starting XI.
Julian Alvarez is expected to retain his place in the starting lineup and could form an attacking partnership with Alex Baena as Atletico look to return to winning ways in La Liga.

However, with Julian Alvarez leading the attack, Atletico Madrid may have enough quality to secure a narrow victory.
