Trippier missed Atlético's training session this Tuesday, but not because of his suspension, but because of muscular discomfort that have forced him to stop. The side has come to undergo some medical tests to determine if there is an injury, although in principle the club are optimistic.
The ratification of the penalty to the winger by FIFA once again leaves the British on the sidelines of the team, although the reason for his absence in the session is this ailment. In December, when the suspension imposed by the English Federation became known, it was assumed that the footballer could neither play nor train with the team. Now he does not understand it that way, but the sanction is only for the competition, and he is out of the group, but because of those annoyances, because he was counted on for training.
While, Simeone turns to how to replace one of his key players on the field in team attack. The logic points towards Vrsaljko, which will have to catch its best tone as soon as possible. Ricard, for his part, will become the second right back.
Parallel to sports work, the club tries to find solutions to the Trippier case. Thus, from the offices all channels will be exhausted and it has already presented an appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to first ask for an immediate provisional suspension that allows Trippier to continue playing for Atlético.
