Simeone: All of Atletico's energy and thoughts are being put towards Valencia

Atletico Madrid will take on Valencia at Mestalla on Friday night at 21:00 CET in what is a crucial match in the race for the top four.

As such, Diego Simeone will be glad that Jose Gimenez, Santiago Arias and Alvaro Morata are all back available after injury, with the trio having been named in the 19-man squad.

The Colombian is the only player who seems ready to start, so Gimenez and Morata may have to make do with appearances off the bench.
