Atletico Madrid will travel to Estadio Municipal de Anoeta on Sunday to face Real Sociedad<\/a> in La Liga<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Diego Simeone\u2019s side will be aiming to regain momentum after making an unbeaten start to the campaign. Atl\u00e9tico collected seven points from their first three league matches, including an impressive 3\u20131 victory over Sevilla. However, their positive beginning has been followed by two straight defeats. They suffered a disappointing 3\u20130 loss to Athletic Club in the league before losing 2\u20131 to Liverpool in the Champions League during the week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Atl\u00e9tico Madrid manager Diego Simeone must now deal with several selection concerns after a demanding European fixture against Liverpool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Pablo Barrios is definitely unavailable after sustaining a right-leg myofascial injury in that Champions League match. Reports suggest that the midfielder could miss Atl\u00e9tico\u2019s next few games while he recovers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Alexander S\u00f8rloth is also a significant doubt for the trip to San Sebasti\u00e1n because of a continuing muscular problem that has restricted his involvement in training.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Even with those absences and doubts, Atl\u00e9tico Madrid still has considerable strength across the squad. Their depth gives Simeone several alternatives as he prepares his team for Sunday\u2019s encounter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Juli\u00e1n Alvarez is expected to keep his place in the starting lineup, with the Argentine forward likely to form a partnership with Alex Baena in attack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Possible Atletico Madrid starting XI:\u00a0<\/strong>Oblak; Llorente, Pubill, Hancko, Grimaldo; Simeone, Barrios, Hjulmand, Baena; Lee; Alvarez<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
