Atlético has no time to lose and returned to training after the defeat in the Carranza trophy for penalties against Cádiz. And he did it with two great news: Herrera and Hermoso worked with the group. The Mexican joined the preseason after having participated in the Gold Cup, where he was named best player of the tournament despite falling in the final against the United States. He arrives rolled, with minutes on his legs (he was in the field 562 of the 570 of his national team in the competition) and an extra gear for the start of the season that could come in handy for Simeone. Herrera apparently will have minutes this Sunday against Feyenoord and wants to win an important role this course.
Hermoso, for his part, returned to exercising on the grass after having overcome an episode of acute intestinal obstruction that prevented him from playing against Wolfsburg and forced him to stay in the German city for two days. The central defender returned to Spain on Monday, yesterday he worked in the gym and today he was able to do it again on the pitch with his teammates. The medical team will closely follow the physical evolution of the Madrilenian.
Without the footballers who played 90 '
In the session, with the ball as the protagonist, the players who completed the match against Cádiz, such as Saúl, Kondogbia, Giuliano or Nehuén, did not participate. and the footballers who are still in the process of taking the form like De Paul, Lemar, Vrsaljko or Giménez were subjected to workloads, although Carrasco, who scored the rojiblanco goal at Carranza, did train with the group. A group full of heavyweights like Koke and Llorente next to the block that joined the preseason on Monday (Luis Suárez, Trippier, Correa and Lodi) and the homegrown players Simeone is counting on the most. Marcos Paulo ran continuously on the pitch, although still alone, recovering from a muscle injury. The Brazilian is one of the four footballers who occupy the rojiblanca infirmary, along with Savic, Felipe and João Félix.
