Savic is back

Simeone continues to have good news. Yes, in yesterday's training session Héctor Herrera and Mario Hermoso joined the group, the first after playing the Gold Cup and the second after overcoming an acute intestinal obstruction, today was Stefan Savic's turn.

The Montenegrin central suffered a myofascial injury to the right quadriceps on July 19, which had forced him to go through the infirmary and miss the four friendlies that Atlético has played so far. Savic was one of the few footballers Simeone could count on from day one, but he was injured after spending the week training in Los Angeles de San Rafael.

A fixture in Cholo's scheme and probably the best defender in LaLiga last season and who will be available to start the season (Atlético debuts on August 15 in Balaídos). Savic was very important in the line of three centrals, outlined to the right side and also when it was necessary to return to the line of four exercising as a right-handed central. With his recovery, the rojiblanca infirmary is emptying, although it still has João Félix, Felipe and Marcos Paulo off. The striker had surgery on his right ankle after playing the Eurocup and will not reach the start of the league. Felipe is recovering at a good pace from a partial tear in the outer lateral ligament of your right knee suffered in the Copa América and Marcos Paulo already runs continuously and touches the ball after being injured in the preseason.
