Atlético Madrid will travel to Bilbao on Friday for Saturday’s match against Athletic Club at San Mamés with Julián Álvarez and Jonathan David included in Diego Simeone’s 24-man squad.

Álvarez returns after missing the previous week because of an indisposition and has confirmed his continuation at the club. Jonathan David makes his first appearance in the squad after joining Atlético on Tuesday, the final day of the summer transfer window.

Robin Le Normand also returns after serving a suspension in last Saturday’s match against Sevilla. Alexander Sørloth remains sidelined with a muscle injury, while Obed Vargas was left out for technical reasons as his future remains uncertain while other leagues complete their transfer business.

Simeone has called up reserve-team players Jorge Domínguez and Jorge Castillo. Goalkeeper Salvador Esquivel and defender Dani Martínez are listed as first-team players for the season.
