After his cameo appearance against Villarreal he will be ready to go from the off

Atletico Madrid are focused on the weekend clash with Espanyol in Cornella. Joao Felix and Kieran Trippier could return to the starting line up after time out injured.

They will take no risks with Diego Costa. He reappeared from the bench against Liverpool last week after nearly three months out, but still felt some problems so will likely be on the bench at best.

Felix scored against Villarreal after coming on and took plenty of shots. He's the club's record signing, but last started on January 26 against Leganes (0-0). He's missed four games through injury.
