The Athletic It is being one of the teams with the best sensations at the start of the season. The mattress box is located in third place in the domestic competition with 17 points only behind Villarreal (18 points) and Real Sociedad (20). Simeone's men have two fewer games and their feelings regarding their record of victories invites optimism (five wins, two draws and zero losses).
On the other hand, the mattress box has everything to face to come back stronger after the break. The rojiblancos will play on November 21 against Barça at the Wanda. Diego Costa, Carrasco and Vitolo are expected to be on this stage. In the case of the Lagarto player, it is known that he retired injured against Celta in October. The forward, a priori, will already be available for next week.
Carrasco's case is very similar to Costa's. At the end of October he suffered a muscle injury to his right thigh. Since then, Carrasco set himself the goal of reaching that stake against Barça. Everything indicates that it will be so.
The last of the cases is that of Vitolo. The canary withdrew from the field 10 minutes after entering against Lokomotiv. This is due to a muscle injury to the left thigh. Although he was low against Cádiz, it is expected that he is already back against Barça. This break will also bring joy to Llorente and Koke. Both players are called up with Spain.
