Atlético trained for the last time before the return of LaLiga (tomorrow, 2:00 p.m. in Cornellà), where Simeone will have his entire attack front available. A red-and-white forward reinforced on the last market day with a Griezmann who points to eleven as soon as he returns to the club where he gave his best afternoons.
El Cholo had the great news of Correa and Cunha, already back with the group after their international commitments. Not so Giménez and De Paul, who were starters with Uruguay and Argentina respectively in the matches played at dawn from Thursday to Friday in Spanish time and they worked in the gym. The center-back and the midfielder accumulated more minutes on their legs, in the case of Giménez, the 270 of the break, so they could travel to Barcelona, but it seems very difficult for them to start against Espanyol after the little rest they have been able to have and the transoceanic trip they have carried out.
In a training session of just under an hour, the rojiblancos footballers They put their aim to the test and worked the definition in front of the goal. Simeone has been alternating during the week João Félix, already recovered from the ankle operation he underwent after the Eurocup and Griezmann, but finally It seems that it will be the French who will accompany Luis Suárez, also suitable despite the knee discomfort suffered in the match against Villarreal, where he already released his scoring account. Correa had been the rojiblanco's main offensive resource so far (three goals and one assist), but the trip with the national team could make him wait from the bench.
The defender, Felipe could make his debut this season to fill the gap for Giménez. The Brazilian was injured during the Copa América, but is now fully recovered. Thus, Simeone apparently will resort to the system that has been working so well and his eleven can be formed by Oblak, Savic (without problems despite the bruised ankle), Felipe, Hermoso, Trippier, Carrasco, Koke, Llorente, Lemar, Griezmann and Luis Suárez.
