wow, on time

Daniel Wass is back. January signing, it will be in April. The Dane, injured in his first match with Atlético, is already working on the pitch, and with the group. A fact that is not trivial. Because Wass, like Reinildo, are the incorporations that the rojiblanco club made with one word in mind: return to solidity. With the Mozambique defender the lock has been thrown. With the incorporation of the Danish, he will be given flight: the one that Llorente has up front on the band. The right back wraps around his legs like barbed wire. He doesn’t let him run, reach the bottom line, where the ’14’ is lethal. Trippier’s injury, in the league match at Mestalla, delayed him on the board. He complied, because he always does, but Simeone lost cash in front of goal. The signing of Wass filled the gap that Trippier left once he recovered but headed to England: He went to Newcastle, back to his longed-for Premier. Wass, half born, worked as such with Bordalás. With note.

But it was arriving at Atleti, debuting at the Camp Nou, his first game and getting injured. Knee, grade III sprain, two months of nursing. Days that ended yesterday, on the Hill. The Dane returned to work with the group. He did not finish the training, but there was the photo. Ahead, two weeks for April, for the return of LaLiga, nine games to gofor the quarterfinals of the Champions League, against City, Guardiola’s team against whom Wass became fundamental.

Objective: empty the infirmary

For this reason, for the foundation to Llorente, as Reinildo is for Lodi, in addition to that which is gold for Cholo: his versatility. Capable of playing in various positions (midfielder, winger and inside right) during the match for a coach who fills his board with changes for the 90′, for whom versatility is a golden nugget. Wass worked on the team’s day off, Monday. Wass worked on Tuesday, already with the group, although with a bandage on his knee. Wass was once again one more player in Atlético’s session yesterday at Cerro with three first-team players who were already Lodi, Kondogbia and Hermoso, academy players and the two signings from April: Wass and Cunha. Simeone was still absent, with permission from the clubwhile Carrasco recovers from minor nasal surgery to improve his breathing.

The break will serve Simeone to empty his infirmary. In it, in fact, at the moment there are only two players: Vrsaljko and Lemar. The former was injured in the match against Betis, on March 6, and suffered a post-traumatic muscle injury to his right thigh, which occurred when he fell uncoordinated. A game in which Lemar, muscular, was also broken, the fourth he suffers this season. Cholo’s intention is that, like Wass, they also arrive on time.
