Atlético trained in the morning session with their sights set on this Wednesday’s match against Granada (7:00 pm). And the pleasant news was starred by Vrsaljko, who jumped to train with one of the recuperators of the Madrid team. The Croatian side did not exercise with the rest of his teammates, but he did touch the ball. Something positive for future games and seeing the losses that the team has: Savic, Giménez, Marcos Llorente, Griezmann and Vrsaljko himself.
Sime Vrsaljko underwent surgery last day 10 for the fracture of the zygomatic arch right (in the cheekbone area) that occurred during the Champions League match against Porto. The winger, who played as an emergency center-back due to Simeone’s casualties in a crucial game, played the entire second half with a face injury to help his team.
Although he did not play in his place and despite the fact that he played with the discomfort caused by the fracture suffered during an action in the first half, He was one of the best of the team in the game against Porto. The Croatian left with tears in his eyes after his feat on the grass of Do Dragao.
It will be necessary to see in the next training sessions if the defender joins the group and, if he does, he may be at Simeone’s command. The starters against Sevilla did work in the gym and those who weren’t jumped onto the pitch.
