Holding a comfortable 3-0 lead from their Copa del Rey first-leg tie against Eibar, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has decided to rest Antoine Griezmann for the second-leg at the Estadio Ipurua.
The Frenchman was decisive in his last game against Athletic Club, firing in a 25-yard bullet to save the points for his side, but his coach appears to believe that the Rojiblancos have already done enough and can compensate for the striker's absence in the Basque Country.
"Griezmann's not going to travel," he said.
"He had the day off on Tuesday and on Wednesday morning he will train in Madrid."
Rather than sit on their laurels, Atleti will approach this game with their usual intensity according to Simeone.
"Eibar are a well-drilled team that always has a clear idea of how to play," he continued.
"Therefore, we have to be strong and play with the same intensity as usual."
Angel Correa is likely to deputise for Greizmann and he'll be looking for goals to stake his own claims for a regular starting spot.
"In a match where he doesn't participate much, it's still possible for Angel to score a goal," Simeone said.
"He is growing as a player and that makes me happy and excited."
