Session in two shifts, a lot of ball and Los Angeles de San Rafael

Atlético trained this morning at the Majadahonda facilities and later the rojiblancos players they moved to Los Angeles de San Rafael, where will be concentrated this week to carry out the first leg of the preseason. Atlético got up early and the footballers were divided into two groups. Preventive measures to avoid COVID-19 infections continue to be very important. First, a group in which there were players such as Hermoso, Herrera, Lemar, Vitolo, Mollejo, Saponjic, Valera … While they were training on the main playing field of the Sports City, the next group arrived at the facilities of the Madrid club.

In that second batch there were Koke, Saúl, Morata, Thomas, Felipe, Lodi ... Simeone wasted no time with his players, as he did lots of ball circulation exercises. The ball was the protagonist of the work session and the Cholo insisted on the fluidity of the game. To the internationals who meet their national teams the absences of Diego Costa and Arias are joined, who tested positive and are at their homes. The pleasant news for the Argentine coach is that Vrsaljko already trained, who wants to start the preseason as one more.

For this reason, there are a good number of homegrown players under Simeone's command. Álvaro, Sanabria, Manu Sánchez, Mollejo, Medrano, Valera, Camello … as well as goalkeepers San Román, Samuel Rodríguez, Christian Gómez and Alejandro Iturbe.

The Athletic You will arrive in Segovian lands just to eat and to rest. The team planned to train in the afternoon session.
