Atlético continues to monitor the physical condition of João Félix. The striker was a starter this Tuesday in the commitment between Portugal and Luxembourg, but he had to be substituted after 41 minutes of the game with ankle problems. João Félix, like the other six Atlético internationals who finished their international commitments (Kondogbia, Herrera, Oblak, Savic, Vrsaljko and Carrasco), will have to return to Madrid to be under Simeone's orders.
From the Portuguese federation they transmit tranquility about the physical state of João Félix and the change would happen more as a precaution than a more serious injury. But Atlético is waiting to carry out the respective medical tests to find out the extent of his ailments. Another player who returns from the international break with discomfort is Carrasco, who could not participate in any of the three games with Belgium also due to ankle problems. Yes indeed, the Belgian is sanctioned for the match against Sevilla and is a guaranteed loss.
Atlético still trained without their international players and continues to be at a low level, with tactical work and pressure to Hermoso, Felipe, Lodi, Saúl, Vitolo, Correa and Luis Suárez. Dembélé continued to exercise on the sidelines, doing continuous running in an attached field and Giménez continues to do alternative work in the gym. From tomorrow Simeone will be able to count on the return of the internationals to continue preparing for Sunday's game. For his part Trippier, Lemar, Koke and Llorente finish their international commitments today.
