Several Atletico Madrid players set to play final match at Civitas Metropolitano

Atletico Madrid’s final home match of the season is against Osasuna on Sunday, and it could be a farewell of several members of the first team squad. Diego Simeone’s side will be eyeing up another victory on home soil, as they target tracking down Girona to finish inside La Liga’s top three once again.

As per Diario AS, as many as seven players could be making their final appearances for Atleti at the Civitas Metropolitano. Mario Hermoso, Stefan Savic and Gabriel Paulista are all expected to depart during the transfer window, and all three have good chances to start against Osasuna, with Axel Witsel and Jose Maria Gimenez suspended.

Equally, Saul Niguez, Memphis Depay, Angel Correa and Alvaro Morata have all been linked with a move away, so it could be the final time they turn out at the Metropolitano in Atleti colours.

Tomorrow will mark Profe Ortega’s final home game with Atlético Madrid. The physical trainer has been with the club for a total of 15 years.

Long-standing coach Oscar “Profe” Ortega will also be leaving Atletico Madrid at the end of the season, so it will be his final home match. Los Rojiblancos will hope they can secure the three points against Osasuna, which would be a nice ending for those who will be on their way after next weekend.
