Wass and Cunha return to the group

In private, as in all national team breaks, Atlético continued to work. A national team break this March in which, despite the fact that the rojiblancos who remain in Cerro del Espino, Majadahonda, are few, even Simeone is missing, absent this week with permission from the club, Atlético will not stop adding. Because yes, because it’s okay, because three of the first team have stayed in training, Kondogbia, Lodi and Hermoso, but they have been joined by troops. Two footballers who can be considered signings at a vital moment of the season, when Atlético faces the last nine days of the League with League numbers (five consecutive victories) and the quarterfinals of the Champions League against Manchester City. They are Daniel Wass and Mattheus Cunha. The two returned this afternoon to training with the group.

In the case of the Dane, without injuries in his years at Valencia, it was to play his first game with the rojiblanca, at the Camp Nou, he suffered a grade II sprain on the inner side of his right knee and has missed nine games since then . His signing became fundamental last January, once Trippier left Atlético to Newcastle and his arrival freed Llorente from the side, a position in which he can play, yes, but that extinguishes his conditions, his arrivals at the bottom line, so fundamental to make Atlético champion last season. Wass already works with the group.

Lemar and Vrsaljko, to the margin

Cunha had been a summer signing who landed on his feet. Because of his hunger, because of his training, because of his goals, five and two assists. His injury was also to his knee, against Levante, on February 18, he has missed seven games. But they already work with the group. The red and white infirmary empties. Only Lemar and Vrsaljko remain in it. The two worked yesterday, outside the group, but on the pitch.
