Latest Atletico Madrid vs Lille team information
Diego Simeone will continue to be without three injured players, including Robin Le Normand (head), Cesar Azpilicueta (calf) and Marcos Llorente, who has just returned to training after picking up a thigh problem against Benfica. Striker Thomas Lemar is also available after a long recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon, despite having missed the last four games.
Simeone is struggling to find the back of the net, with new signing Julian Alvarez yet to impress, while Alexander Sorloth has scored twice in his last game and has scored back-to-back goals for club and country. Antoine Griezmann is Atleti's top scorer this season with four goals and has scored or assisted in his last seven home Champions League games.
Opponents Lille also have a formidable threat, particularly from Jonathan David and Edon Zhegrova, who leads the way in dribbles in the Champions League this season and has scored six goals for his club as well as scoring for Kosovo in the UEFA Nations League. The visitors will be without Tiago Santos, Ismaily, Hakon Arnar Haraldsson and Ethan Mbappe through injury, but Ngal'ayel Mukau is back from injury, along with Benjamin Andre also out of suspension.

Latest football commentary Atletico Madrid vs Lille
After an impressive nine-game unbeaten run to start the season, Atletico Madrid were beaten 4-0 by Benfica, largely due to a poor second-half performance. Angel Di Maria scored the second after a foul by Conor Gallagher, and Reinildo added to the trouble with another penalty. Atletico have conceded at least one goal in their last six Champions League games, an average of two goals per game, their worst run in a decade.
Atletico will need to capitalise on their home form if they are to reach the knockout stages, having gone 11 Champions League games unbeaten at the Metropolitano. They could set a new record if they beat Lille, surpassing a run that began in 1966. Team morale was boosted by a 2-1 comeback win over Leganes, with Alexander Sorloth scoring twice.
Lille qualified but lost their opening game to Sporting Lisbon. They impressively beat Real Madrid, with Jonathan David converting a penalty. Lille have also won four of their last five group games, but have had problems away from home, losing six of their last eight Champions League games.
The trip to Madrid will require caution, as Lille have lost possession in their most defensive areas and Atletico could use this to counter-attack. Despite their defensive struggles, Atletico are still a formidable opponent at home, while Lille have often struggled away from home.
