Diego Costa and Hermoso, between cottons in the last session

Atlético plays this Saturday (22:00) in the Wanda Metropolitano and, therefore, the team has moved to the stadium for the pre-match session. There, to prepare for the match against Alavés, Simeone again had the presence of Felipe, who trained at the same level as his peers and it could be the novelty in the call.

Instead, there are two footballers who have had to slow down and they exercised on the sidelines of the group. Diego Costa did it as a precaution against the load of minutes and Hermoso, for some inconvenience, as confirmed by EFE. The striker's case should not prevent him from playing against Alavés and the central one is doubt.

So, Cholo will continue with its philosophy of rotations so as not to saturate any footballer. In the last two games he introduced up to seven new features in the eleven and for this Saturday there will be new changes. Thus, players like Trippier, Giménez and João Félix they could go back to the starting team and others like Thomas, Lodi or Costa they may wait on the bench. In addition, it must be taken into account that on Tuesday, three days after this first date, Atlético visits Barça.

Of the 23 footballers in the first squad, the only confirmed loss is that of Vrsaljko, He continues to recover from the arthroscopy to which he underwent on May 21.
