Atletico Madrid will be looking to secure their fifth league win in succession when they travel to Malaga on Saturday.
Diego Simeone's side sit joint-top of La Liga with Barcelona after their 3-2 success over Levante a fortnight ago.
Malaga's 1-0 win at Elche last time out extended their unbeaten run to three matches.
Malaga coach Bernd Schuster will welcome Eliseu back from suspension, but Fernando Tissone will miss out due to a one-match ban.
Atletico midfielder Mario Suarez is expected to miss the match as he continues his recovery from injury. Gabi and Raul Garcia are both suspended, so Simeone could decide to move Koke into the centre of midfield.
