Las Palmas will be without without the injured Kevin-Prince Boateng when they travel to the Vicente Calderon to face Atletico Madrid today.

The Ghanaian international has been playing well for the Canarian side, proving the doubters wrong who thought he was only coming to the Spanish islands to have a good time.

Boateng, who failed to recover from an ankle injury he picked up in training, was absent from the squad unveiled on the club's website on Friday.

Las Palmas are ninth in La Liga, with the minnows doing well in part thanks to Boateng's experience and quality on the ball.

He has scored five goals for them this season, playing on the left side of midfield.
