Atlético rested this Saturday, taking advantage of the fact that this time between games there are four days and not three, but this Sunday Let's get to work thinking about visiting Celta (Tuesday, 22:00). The team has worked with several absences and there are doubts for the meeting in Vigo: Felipe, Hermoso, João Félix …
The Portuguese did not train with his teammates at Cerro. In the match against Mallorca, from which he left with a bad face when he was substituted, he ended up with ice on his leg. He had been beaten and now his presence for tuesday is doubtful, because it still has discomfort in the ankle. The technicians have two days to decide, depending on the evolution of the player.
Felipe and Hermoso, meanwhile, continue with muscle discomfort They already prevented them from entering the call against the Balearic Islands. They do not want to force themselves to avoid greater evils, making it difficult to travel to Galicia. So, Giménez and Savic would repeat in the eleven, with Álvaro García, from B, on the bench in case there were any setbacks. Vrsaljko is still out.
The rest of the team did work at a good pace at Cerro del Espino. Exercises with the ball and closing sessions and one-on-one to try to give continuity against Celta to the good moment the team is experiencing. Diego Costa will not be in Balaídos, in his case because he saw the fifth yellow against Mallorca and must serve a penalty match.
