Athletico Madrid have been dealt a huge blow as they will have to play their next Spanish La Liga game without influential midfielder Thomas Teye Partey.

Diego Simeone will have to play against Sevilla at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium without the Ghana International who got his tenth yellow card of the season against Espanyol.

Los Rojiblancos drew with relegation threatened Espanyol after Stefan Savic opened the scoring with an own goal for the host before Saul Niguez restored parity for the away side.

The mattress makers will play host to Sevilla on the 7th March with both teams fighting for a place for next season's Champions League.

Thomas Partey has made 24 appearances for Athletico Madrid this season scoring twice in the La Liga.
