Latest information on Atletico Madrid vs Leganes squad
Atletico Madrid will be without three players for their first game after the October international break: Marcos Llorente, Robin Le Normand and Cesar Azpilicueta.
There could be a few changes to the line-up from the Real Sociedad game, with Rodrigo De Paul and Samuel Lino likely to start. Alexander Sorloth has not made a big impact with just one goal this season, so he could continue to be on the bench, while Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez will be the two main strikers.
For Leganes, Naim Garcia remains a doubt due to a muscle problem, but the visitors are in good form. Renato Tapia and Matija Nastasic are expected to return after recent problems, and there are no new concerns arising from the break. Coach Jimenez is likely to stick with the same line-up that played against Valencia, but could make changes up front with Miguel de la Fuente replacing Sebastien Haller.
Latest expected lineup Atletico Madrid vs Leganes

Leganes:
Dmitrovic; Rosier, Saenz, Gonzalez, Hernandez; Neyou, Cisse; Cruz, Lopez, Alti; De la Fuente
Latest football commentary on Atletico Madrid vs Leganes
Atletico Madrid are currently unbeaten in La Liga this season with four wins and five draws, sitting third on 17 points, seven points behind leaders Barcelona. However, they have only won one of their last four games, a 1-0 win over Celta Vigo, and have drawn back-to-back games against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
Despite being unbeaten in La Liga, Atletico suffered a 4-0 defeat to Benfica in the Champions League, putting pressure on them for next week's game against Lille at the Wanda Metropolitano. They travel to La Liga to face Real Betis later this month, before starting the Copa del Rey on October 31. Despite scoring just 13 goals in nine games, Atletico boast the best defence in the league, conceding just five.
Leganes, meanwhile, have a record of one win, five draws and three defeats, and are 17th with eight points. Scoring is a big issue, with just five goals scored, the lowest in the league, but a defence that has conceded just nine times suggests the weekend could be a low-scoring affair. Leganes need a win to avoid relegation, but having lost just one-third of their games this season is a positive sign.
Borja Jimenez and his team are on a three-game unbeaten run, with draws against Getafe, Rayo Vallecano and Valencia. Leganes held Atletico to a 0-0 draw in January 2020, and Atletico's last two wins against Leganes were also 1-0. Sunday's game is likely to be low-scoring, and Atletico may need to be patient, with the winner coming in the second half at the Wanda Metropolitano.
