Atlético returned to work with very good news. After a couple of days off to unwind, the team returned to training at the Cerro and, finally, they don’t have any injured players. For the first time this season, the infirmary is empty. Lemar y Vrsaljko, the last ones left have joined the work with the group. All fit at the decisive moment.
Simeone has taken back the controls of the team. The rojiblanco coach has returned from Argentina after the death of his father and begins to prepare for Saturday’s game (9:00 p.m.) against Alavés. For now, without the internationals that will join throughout the week. Reinildo, for example, has already returned from his commitments to Mozambique.
Lemar and Vrsaljko have overcome muscle injuries who suffered three weeks ago and are with the group. Carrasco, who underwent surgery on his nose, is also back, although in his case he did not miss any game (against United and Rayo he served sanctions). AND Cunha and Wass, with knee problems since last month, have already joined to work last week.
That is to say, the coaching staff only has to touch wood and trust that their internationals return without setbacks. Koke, Llorente, Felipe, Luis Suárez, Giménez, Savic, Griezmann, Oblak, De Paul, Correa, João Félix and Herrera They are with their selections. Savic plays this Monday against Greece and the rest will do it on Tuesday or Wednesday. Herrera, who is suspended with Mexico, remains focused with the national team.
