Atlético is incorporating its internationals for the visit to Espanyol (Sunday, 2:00 pm). Yes South Americans who participate in their last commitment have a difficult time being able to be fit on Sunday, several of the Europeans are back. And this Wednesday is day 1 for Griezmann, for his second stage as rojiblanco. The French He will join the team today – just like Lemar – after the exhibition he gave with his team against Finland. Two goals and a recital that suggest that his signing has also removed a burden on his legs. The forward will be able to have his first contact after his return to the club is confirmed, since his signing took place when he was concentrated with the French team.
Griezmann could also offer his first words back to Atlético, since so far it has been hermetic except for a tweet in networks (“Desiring to return home”) after confirming that he will wear the number '8' in this second stage of rojiblanco and he will meet again, among others, with Simeone. Without a doubt, the good feelings he has left with France (three goals in three games) are a good letter of introduction. Also with Carrasco, released by the Belgian team for the match against Belarus.
Oblak and Savic were the other two Atlético footballers who ended their commitments with the national team yesterday afternoon. In the case of the Montenegrin central defender, he did not participate with his team after having had to be substituted at half-time in the previous match against the Netherlands with muscle discomfort. Atlético exercises this morning (10:30) in Majadahonda and it remains to be seen if Griezmann already participates with his teammates, something unlikely after starting in the three matches in France, or waiting for tomorrow's session to be one more. Koke, Llorente and Trippier play their third match today and De Paul, Correa, Giménez and Cunha will do so at dawn from Thursday to Friday, a schedule that makes his presence very difficult in the return of LaLiga.
