Atletico Madrid are equipped to compete in LaLiga and the Europa League despite their mounting injury list, according to head coach Diego Simeone.
A hamstring injury to Juanfran and the broken leg Filipe Luis suffered on Thursday are the latest misfortunes to befall the team, who were already without strikers Diego Costa and Kevin Gameiro, as well as defender Stefan Savic and goalkeeper Jan Oblak, for the 5-1 victory at Lokomotiv Moscow last time out.
Some of those players are in contention to return for Sunday's trip to Villarreal, but Simeone acknowledges he has been left short of options, particularly given the January departures of Yannick Carrasco, Nicolas Gaitan and Miguel Angel Moya.
