Atlético Madrid has announced its new captains for the 2024-25 season. Merle Barth, who debuted as a rojiblanca player last Saturday against Rangers after two years of injuries, and Ainhoa Moraza, who is entering her third season with the team, join Lola Gallardo and Carmen Menayo as captains.
Menayo’s long-term injury will mean that Moraza will be in charge of wearing the armband when Lola is not on the field. Leicy Santos and Van Dongen, who accompanied Lola and Menayo in the quartet last season, have left the club, so two new captains had to be found.
Meanwhile, the men’s team has also had to modify its quartet due to Savic’s departure. Koke, Oblak and Giménez remain as the top three, while Correa and Griezmann are the candidates for the fourth option for the armband.
Atlético de Madrid faces the loss of Pablo Barrios for the next four games due to a muscle injury in his left leg suffered with the Spanish under-21 team.
The red-and-white midfielder has been one of the team’s best players in this start of the season, having played in all four league matches so far, three of them from the start and one, against Espanyol, for the entire second half.
Only central defender Robin Le Normand, who has played all four matches in their entirety, has played more minutes than Pablo Barrios in the Atlético squad at the start of this season. Barrios is the only confirmed absence for Atlético in Sunday’s match against Valencia at the Cívitas Metropolitano.
Atlético Madrid is facing a goalkeeper crisis after their two first-choice goalkeepers, Jan Oblak and Juan Musso, were injured during the international break. Oblak suffered a stomach problem and was unable to play for Slovenia, while Musso injured his back and had to return to Madrid from the Argentina camp. With both goalkeepers out, manager Diego Simeone will be forced to turn to reserve goalkeepers such as Alejandro Iturbe and Antonio Gomis for the next LaLiga match.
Three Atlético de Madrid players had matches with their national teams on Monday: Alexander Sorloth with Norway, Antoine Griezmann with France and Jan Oblak with Slovenia. Sorloth shone in the match against Austria, assisting in the 1-0 of the Scandinavians after a great play.
He was substituted in the 97th minute and left to applause. Griezmann was a substitute and entered the field in the 79th minute in place of Guendouzi, with 2-0 already on the scoreboard against Belgium. Oblak was able to play in Slovenia, keeping his goal unbeaten in a resounding victory against Kazakhstan (3-0) with a hat-trick from Sesko.
The ultrasound performed on Sunday revealed that the overload that forced Pablo Barrios to leave the U21 team has resulted in a muscle injury in his left leg. The midfielder will miss the next seven games of Atlético de Madrid, but is expected to return after the next LaLiga break.
Barrios had become the true beacon of the team in this start of the season, having played the entire game against Villarreal, Girona and Athletic and the second half against Espanyol. The U21 international is the second most used player by Simeone after 315 minutes, only behind Le Normand.
Atlético de Madrid faces a demanding calendar in September, with seven commitments in just 21 days. Among them, a derby against Real Madrid on September 29 at the Metropolitano. Despite having only two days of rest for the derby, the opposing team will have four days of rest.
However, the reality is that the Metropolitano will be full. 20 days before the match, Atlético has already sold all the regular tickets for the match against Real Madrid. The only tickets left for sale come from the VIP seats.
Atlético Madrid resumed training after a weekend off granted by the coaching staff. Diego Simeone had the same players as on Friday, with whom he prepared a session that started with physical work and ended with tactics.
Thomas Lemar was able to train on the grass, although he did so alone. Pablo Barrios and Juan Musso returned, although neither could train due to injuries. Robin Le Normand finished his commitment with Spain but the coaching staff has decided to give him two days off.
Pablo Barrios, Atlético de Madrid player, suffers a muscle injury in his left leg that will keep him out of the team for at least three weeks. The midfielder, who was one of the standouts in the early stages of the competition, will miss between five and seven games of the marathon that starts this Sunday.
Barrios was left out of the first game of the Under-21s because his sensations were not good. On Monday, he underwent medical tests that confirmed that what initially seemed like an overload was a more serious muscle injury that forced him to stop.
In the next three weeks, Atlético have seven games: Valencia (day 15), Leipzig (19), Rayo (22), Celta (26), Real Madrid (29), Benfica (October 2) and Real Sociedad (5 or 6). The midfielder will miss many of them and may be able to play in one of the last two.
He has almost no chance of making the derby, as everything will be done to ensure his return, but it will not be forced. Koke, De Paul and Gallagher will take care of the midfield in the coming weeks, plus what Lemar, Llorente, Lino…
In recent years, Atlético de Madrid has had more rest days than Real Madrid in derbies. Last season, Simeone’s team had 6 more rest days in derbies. Two seasons ago, Atlético de Madrid also had 4 more rest days than Real Madrid in derbies.
This season, Atlético de Madrid arrives with one more rest day at the second derby of the season. The last derby in which Real Madrid arrived with more rest was in the final of the Spanish Super Cup in January 2020.
