Wass, with ball on the grass

Atlético returned to training this afternoon at Cerro del Espino, Majadahonda, after qualifying for the quarterfinals of this Champions League 2021-22 at Old Trafford. After arriving at 05:30 in England, the squad had a day and a half off, on Wednesday and half on Thursday. Their blue suits already filled field 4 of Cerro with the Champions League aside, three weeks, and Rayo in the headhis League of 14 when he entered Luis’s, the last ten games.

With the presence in the band of Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, CEO, and Antonio Alonso, vice president, who did not lose detail, in the Cerro because the club had made a delivery to Cerezo there that recognized his 1,000 games as Atletico president, Cholo footballers exercised with two absences and one additioneven though it was actually in the next field.

Because absences were Oblak (the club reported that it was not due to any physical problem or injury) and Carrasco that, taking advantage of his suspension against Rayo (he saw the fifth yellow against Cádiz) he has had his nasal septum intervened, a small surgery to breathe better. The ‘presence’ was that of Wass, with a knee sprain in his debut as an rojiblanco, at the Camp Nou. The Danish worked alone, outside the group and with a physical, but with the ball. His return is closer, to the relief of a Cholo who sees his infirmary (Wass, Cunha, Lemar, Vrsaljko) decongest… And the good results have arrived.
