Another setback for him Atlético de Madrid in recent months. This, at least, is not caused by the coronavirus, which has had the rojiblanco team as one of the most affected by the pandemic, with Lodi, Vrsaljko, Correa, Giménez or even Diego Simeone as positive for this disease.
On this occasion, it is the calendar that ‘hurts’ the colchoneros. And with reason, because the Champions returns. LaLiga announced on Friday the schedules of the sixth day of the League, the fourth for Atlético, which has the first two postponed because it ended in August the previous season.
The Madrid team will play against him Celta Vigo in Balaídos on Saturday, October 17 at 4:00 p.m. The same day that all the Champions teams will play. In the case of the rojiblancos, they will be measured at Bayern at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, October 21 at 9:00 p.m. Reason why, these teams play on Saturday, as always happens.
What is problematic for Atlético now is that the Vigo clash comes after the stoppage caused by the commitments of the national teams.Up to eleven mattress players are spread across half the world, and until Thursday they are not expected to be all available to the Cholo.
Taking into account that some will return from a long trip and that on Thursday, if they arrive for training, they will have a soft session, the Argentine coach will only have one session, on Friday, with the entire squad to prepare the Saturday's match against Celta.
