VfB Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeness has heaped praise on Atletico Madrid ahead of Tuesday's maiden competitive meeting between the two clubs at the MHP Arena. The Bundesliga outfit enter the league-phase clash chasing a third consecutive European victory after opening their continental campaign in blistering fashion.

Atletico Madrid have received a significant boost regarding the fitness of Cristian Romero following fears of a lengthy layoff. The Argentine international was forced off during the recent 1-0 victory over Espanyol, sparking concerns about the stability of Diego Simeone's backline.

Viktor Gyokeres is ready to push for an exit from Arsenal in January after growing increasingly frustrated with a complete lack of Premier League starts under Mikel Arteta. The Sweden international is also deeply unsettled by the Gunners' active pursuit of Julian Alvarez, with intermediaries assessing prospective landing spots across the continent.

Atletico Madrid are already planning to secure the permanent signing of Jonathan David following an impressive start to his loan spell from Juventus. The Canada international has made an instant impact in Spain, prompting the club to prepare a €25m transfer package.
