Las Palmas Amicable withdrawal despite no relevant clause

There will be two major casualties for Saturday's LaLiga meeting between Atletico Madrid and Las Palmas, with Antoine Griezmann and Vitolo both absent.

French international Griezmann is suspended following his red card against Girona, and Vitolo will be asked to delay his home debut for the Canary Island club due to his eventual transfer to Diego Simeone's side.

Vitolo joined Atletico Madrid this summer from Sevilla, but due to their transfer ban he has been loaned to Las Palmas until January.

Although no clause exists in his contract about playing against his parent club, Las Palmas have taken the decision out of courtesy.

Vitolo will face his former employers Sevilla on September 20, in his first visit to the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, with the Andalusian still set to pursue legal action against all involved in his exit.

The meeting between Atleti and Las Palmas will offer both sides a chance to get their respective seasons up and running, having stumbled on the opening day, the former drawing with Girona and the latter losing to Valencia.
