Atlético last exercised before traveling tomorrow morning to Pamplona to measure up to Osasuna. The rojiblanco team had to expressly prepare for the match against the rojillos after returning to LaLiga in San Mamés on Sunday and they have only enjoyed two training sessions prior to the meeting.
Simeone recovers João Félix for the appointment, sanctioned last day and that apparently will be holder with Diego Costa up front and Vitolo, who trained for the second day in a row at the same pace as his teammates. Not so Felipe, with a muscle injury, and that he will miss his second consecutive game.
Cholo prepares rotations before the load of matches and the recovery of players keys in attack like João Félix and Correa, who did have minutes against Athletic but returned from injury and was a substitute. The Argentine could enter the right wing and Lemar on the left, a very offensive eleven with Saúl and Koke in the double pivot. A scheme that would remain pending Thomas's fitness, also with options to accompany the other two youth squads in between.
Rest for Llorente, Carrasco, Trippier …

The victims of the entry of Correa and João Félix would be Llorente and Carrasco, holders in San Mamés and who showed good physical condition. In defense Arias would be in charge of giving Trippier rest, while in the middle of the rear they would remain Savic and Giménez, two fixed while Cholo can not count on Felipe. Atlético needs to win in the fight to enter the Champions League positions, a vital goal at the end of the course. Sevilla tied on their visit to Levante and Atleti could cut Lopetegui's two points.
Simeone thinks of a brave team to claim victory in a stadium that chokes him, as Osasuna has always been a tough nut to crack at home. The eleven of the Cholo could be formed by Oblak; Arias, Savic, Giménez, Lodi; Koke, Saúl, Correa, Lemar or Thomas; João Félix and Diego Costa. On the bench would be attack men like Morata, Carrasco, Vitolo, Llorente, Herrera, Saponjic … in addition to the resources of the quarry.
