Griezmann has the OK to return to training

Griezmann has received authorization from LaLiga to rejoin training with Atlético, as reported this afternoon by the rojiblanco club. The Frenchman, who last night put a tweet on social networks announcing that it was negative, was at home, isolated and asymptomatic, complying with the recommendations of the health authorities.

Griezmann represents a case of resolved infection that meets the conditions set by the “Strategy for Early Detection, Surveillance and Control of COVID-19 of the Ministry of Health dated December 19, 2021,” Atlético points out in a statement on its website.

Recovering from an injury

Griezmann’s return to work with the group is essential because he is a footballer who is immersed in a process of recovering from an injury, which suffered against Real Madrid in the derby at the Santiago Bernabéu on December 12, muscular after a tackle by Dani Carvajal.

To recover, the Frenchman needs to work with the team’s recovering physios, so Simeone will not be sure of him for the duel in the Copa del Rey against Rayo Majadahonda this Thursday and it will be necessary to see its evolution for the La Cerámica match, corresponding to the 20th day of LaLiga, against Villarreal.
