Atlético had a morning training session and Simeone was able to work with more players than usual in the national team breaks. It is the least international Atlético, since only ten players left to play for their countries. Correa and De Paul did it with Argentina; Giménez and Luis Suárez, with Uruguay; Herrera, with Mexico; Koke, with Spain; Griezmann, with France; Carrasco, with Belgium, Oblak, with Slovenia and Trippier, with England.
The injuries have caused that some footballers have not attended with their selections. The three injured did not train: Savic, Marcos Llorente and Cunha. The first is sanctioned and will not be able to play the Champions League match against Liverpool while the other two will arrive in time to play the Champions League match.
Simeone arranged a session in which the ball was the protagonist and in which the players did pressure exercises on the rival. Lemar was working on the sidelines of his teammates in a training session in which João Félix, among others, one of the great winners of the game against Barcelona, was present. French has no problem, but Atlético does not want to force any player and more knowing that he will not play a game until next day 19.
Simeone will have two weeks to prepare for the Champions League game, although he will do so completely until his internationals return. It will be necessary to see when any of the three injured will be able to train. The coach will be able to count on everyone, except Savic in the European tournament, after the break and will be able to dose efforts in the face of the demanding schedule that he will have to face.
