João Félix trains on the sidelines and could rotate against Lokomotiv

Atlético had their last training session before Lokomotiv's visit (Wednesday, 9:00 pm) and again the coaching staff took the opportunity to dose workloads. If on Monday it was Marcos Llorente who did not exercise with the group, this Tuesday João Félix and Mario Hermoso have been. Both were starters against Barça and this Tuesday they have done alternative work. At first they have no problem playing, but Simeone could give them rest, at least initially.

From the beginning of the course, the plan goes through not overload any of your footballers with minutes, although the injuries of some have forced others to play more than desired. For this reason, although the appointment against Lokomotiv is almost a final with a view to reaching the eighths, Simeone could move pieces and leave the '7' on the bench. Llorente, Correa, Carrasco and Diego Costa, who is not a starter since he was injured in Vigo, could make up the attack.

In the center of the field he has fewer alternatives, because Herrera (injury), Torreira (COVID) and Kondogbia (not registered) they cannot play. Koke and Saúl will carry the handle. In defence, Trippier, Savic and Giménez seem fixed and for the left Lodi He will have a new opportunity, now that Hermoso has exceeded him in the coach's preferences.
