Llorente accelerates his recovery

Marcos Llorente wants to be against Liverpool. The midfielder, whose career turned upside down with his double at Anfield in 2020, he finished the game against Barcelona with a muscle injury from which he continues to recover.

But the ’14’ does not give up. Llorente continues to train alone, but together with Zahínos, a former rojiblanco player and now a physical trainer, he could be seen at a good level in today’s session after his teammates finished exercising. The Madrid midfielder already touches the ball, hits the goal, practices long deliveries and sprints overcoming obstacles at a great pace, which triggers the illusions so that it can be available in the big game next Tuesday when Liverpool visit the Wanda Metropolitano.

Llorente is essential for Simeone and the player does not want to miss the big date in the Champions League return after a stop where he could not attend the citation of the Selection. The rest of the team worked to continue preparing the duel and the Argentine coach proved a forward composed of Carrasco, João Félix and Griezmann. Keep in mind that Luis Suárez, Correa, De Paul and Héctor Herrera have not yet returned from their international commitments, reason why LaLiga has postponed the match against Granada.

Lemar for his part, he did an individualized work session, while Giménez, Cunha and Savic also continue working in the gym recovering from their respective injuries. The Montenegrin center-back still has two penalty games in the Champions League, so He will not be able to play any of the games against Liverpool. Simeone only has Hermoso and Felipe in the center of the defense, so he could be forced to return to a back of four or to reconvert Kondogbia or Vrsaljko as centrals.
