Leipzig's best striker Timo Werner has been sold to Chelsea and will not be available. Manager Julian Nagelsmann would ideally go with Yussuf Poulsen and Patrik Schick up top in his absence. Anyway, the former is yet to recover from a ankle ligament injury and is doubtful. The Bundesliga club has signed Hwang Hee-Chan from Salzburg but he is a 2020/21 addition and won't be eligible to play on Thursday night. As a result, Dani Olmo and Christopher Nkunku will support Patrick Schick up front. Former Man City's player Angelino and Nordi Mukiele will start as wing backs in a 3-5-2 system.
Angel Correa and Sime Vrsaljko both tested positive for Coronavirus and will both miss the Final Eight in Portugal. Those two absentees aside, Simeone has a fully fit squad to choose from. Joao Felix and Diego Costa are favorites over Alvaro Morata in attack. Marcos Llorente and Koke should play out wide, with Saul Niguez and Thomas Partey anchoring the midfield. Kieran Trippier and Renan Lodi are expected to start as full backs, with Josè Maria Jimenez and Stefan Savic paired as centre-backs.
