Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone insists they should be able to handle their squad injuries.

Among them are Koke, Thomas Lemar, Stefan Savic, Lucas and Jose Gimenez but Cholo is refusing to allow Atletico to feel sorry for themselves about the situation.

"You are journalists and know well that normally information can be true or false," he told the press conference.

"We are respectful towards everything and everyone else can think what they want.

"But we do see that in all the big teams there are injuries so we have to try to work and bring the players along in the best way.

"Consequently, we will work hard and see what comes."
