Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Atletico Madrid could line up for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Manchester City.

Atletico Madrid will have to make do without the suspended Yannick Carrasco for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Manchester City at the Etihad on Tuesday night.

The Belgian attacker is serving the third and final game of a lengthy European suspension and is set to come back fresh for the return leg at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Aside from the suspended Carrasco, Diego Simeone is working with a near fully-fit group, although MLS-bound midfielder Hector Herrera is sidelined owing to a hamstring issue and centre-back Jose Gimenez is missing due to discomfort.

Simeone will also be boosted by the returns of Angel Correa and Koke from domestic bans, but only the latter may be able to force his way into the Argentine's 3-5-2 setup this week.

Despite the return of Correa and Luis Suarez netting twice off the bench against Alaves at the weekend, Simeone could keep the faith with Joao Felix and Antoine Griezmann in the final third for now.

Koke ought to link up with Geoffrey Kondogbia and Rodrigo De Paul in the middle, with Old Trafford hero Renan Lodi and Marcos Llorente potentially occupying the wide roles.

Gimenez's absence ought to see Mario Hermoso and Reinildo join former Manchester City man Stefan Savic in the backline, as Jan Oblak acts as the visitors' last line of defence.

Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup: Oblak; Savic, Hermoso, Reinildo; Llorente, De Paul, Kondogbia, Koke, Lodi; Griezmann, Felix
