Atletico Madrid coach, Diego Simeone, has brought back Joao Felix and Angel Correa, absent from the previous match against Betis, in the 23-man squad for Monday's match against Rayo Vallecano in Vallecas.

There remain several notable injury absences with Thomas Lemar, Koke Resurreccion, Jose Maria Gimenez and Reinildo Mandava all set to miss out.

As for the returning pair, Correa has recovered from an ankle injury suffered in the first match against Granada, and Joao Felix has recovered from some discomfort, although his future remains in the balance.

Still expected to leave the club before the end of the window after expressing his desire publicly to sign for Barcelona, the Portuguese striker could be counting down on his final matches for the 'Rojiblancos'.


Simeone's full squad: 

Goalkeepers: Jan Oblak, Ivo Grbic and Antonio Gomis

Defenders: Nahuel Molina, Ilias Kostis, Cesar Azpilicueta, Caglar Soyuncu, Stefan Savic, Axel Witsel, Mario Hermoso and Javi Galan

Midfielders: Marcos Llorente, Pablo Barrios, Rodrigo de Paul, Saul Niguez, Rodrigo Riquelme, Samuel Lino and Yannick Carrasco

Forwards: Antoine Griezmann, Angel Correa, Memphis Depay, Joao Felix and Alvaro Morata
