Early morning, long rest and optimism with the injured

Atlético trained very early in the morning (8:30 am) at the facilities of Majadahonda and the rojiblancos will have a long weekend of rest, since the team will exercise next Monday at 7:00 p.m. Footballers who do not have international commitments will have a good rest before starting the demanding month of September: Espanyol, Porto and Athletic will be the first three commitments.

Simeone continued working with the same players that he has been working with all week. Herrera is already fully incorporated into the group dynamics and in the preparatory session he already touched the ball with the rest of his teammates. The Mexican is ready to play against Espanyol.

The two players still in the dry dock are João Félix and Luis Suárez. The Portuguese did not jump onto the pitch and was in the gym. He is in the final stretch of the operation he suffered on his right ankle. He already trained with the ball and had his own match sensations, but Thursday and Friday he did work in the gym. Monday must start full. His challenge is to play the next league game.

Luis Suárez, for his part, continues with the recovery of knee edema left who suffered against Villarreal, where he scored his first goal for Atlético this season. It is not serious and from the medical body they trust that he can be before Espanyol. Nor did he jump into the field. If everything goes as planned, Cholo could have them all after returning to competition.
