Atletico Madrid name squad including Luis Suarez for Manchester United Champions League fixture

Atletico Madrid will be without two key players for their Champions League match against Manchester United on Tuesday night.

United are set to welcome Atletico to Old Trafford in the last 16 second leg in the Champions League. United will be hoping to progress to the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time since 2019 when Barcelona proved a step too far.

Ralf Rangnick's side struggled in the first half of the reverse leg against Atletico but Anthony Elanga's second-half goal salvaged a draw at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium. United beat Tottenham 3-2 at the weekend - that was an ideal response after their humiliation in the Manchester derby — and they'll be hoping to build on that important win with another strong performance.
