Atlético continues to work towards reaching the derby on Sunday against Real Madrid in full condition. Simeone had a great novelty in today’s session, with Luis Suárez training as one more and the ‘9’ points to the Santiago Bernabéu match (9:00 p.m.).
In the first brushstrokes of the coach, an eleven is emerging that will once again have casualties in defense, since Giménez, Savic, Trippier and Vrsaljko remain on the sidelines and Atlético will have to improvise again behind, with the presence of Kondogbia as an emergency center. According to the first exercises of the week, there are two positions in the eleven that remain in the air, waiting to carry out the last session before the duel tomorrow. Also training, being able to bet on four defenders, with Hermoso pulled to the left side or five, with three centrals to try to stop the highest scoring team in LaLiga.
Simeone seems to be clear that cloud will be accompanied by Llorente, again acting as a right winger or winger, Felipe, who returns after missing the Porto game due to suspension, Kondogbia and Beautiful. Koke and De Paul are fixed in the center of the field and Correa can earn a spot on the right wing, to collaborate with Llorente in defense and put Real Madrid’s offensive left profile into difficulties. The doubt in that case falls on the left wing, since Carrasco and Lemar would fight for a starting position. Same case as up front, where Griezmann look for a partner. Suárez or Matheus Cunha, the doubt to exercise as a rojiblanco tip.
