MADRID (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid forward Mario Mandzukic has been left out of the Spanish champions' squad for Saturday's La Liga game at Deportivo La Coruna due to an ankle problem, coach Diego Simeone said on Friday.

The Croatia international played the whole of Tuesday's 0-0 Champions League quarter-final first leg draw at home to Real Madrid but has been rested for the trip to Galicia, Simeone told a news conference.
