Atletico boss Diego Simeone expects a tough Athletic Bilbao test on Sunday.

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone is paying little notice of Athletic Bilbao's lowly league placing heading into tomorrow's clash at San Mames, where he expects his high-flying side to be given their toughest test of recent weeks.

While Falcao is definitely missing, it remains to be seen what role Athletic's own big-name striker Fernando Llorente will play in Sunday's clash after this week committing his future to Juventus. Llorente agreed a four-year deal with the Serie A giants but will remain at Athletic until his contract runs out at the end of June before moving to Italy. Bielsa does not expect this week's news to change anything with regards Llorente's commitment to the cause, with 27-year-old's desire to leave Athletic being made public last summer. "It changes absolutely nothing," said Bielsa. "We're happy for Llorente and sad for us because a member of the team is leaving, but we've known this since August. "I don't think Llorente will give any less from now until the end of the season."
