Atlético closes the week under lows: Hermoso, on the sidelines

Atlético stayed very depleted due to international calls and during the week it has been losing even more troops. The coaching staff started working with six players from the first team, plus a group of homegrown players, and this Friday he has only been able to train with three. Manu Sánchez has left with the U21 Y Mario Hermoso exercised on the sidelines for some inconvenience that has been dragging on for a couple of days. Saúl also did specific work. Simeone was not in the Hill, with permission for personal reasons.

The defender, who is gaining relevance in recent weeks with Simeone, had a individualized session, taking advantage of the break and not to overload. On Wednesday he already left training a little earlier, but it is not serious. In fact, Hermoso has enough options to start at Atlético-Barça Saturday 21 (21:00).

Thus, Nelson Vivas prepared the last training session of the week only with Lemar, Correa and Saponjic together with a large group of homegrown players: Ricard, Toni Moya, Camello, Mariano, Germán Valera, Sanabria … All of them ended the session with a game. The team will have the weekend off.

Meanwhile, the injured Vrsaljko, Vitolo, Carrasco and Diego Costa continue with their recovery work. The last two are expected for this next week in which, gradually, the 15 internationals will be reincorporated.
