Madrid Derby: Ceballos Misses the Battle of the Metropolitano

Bad news for Real Madrid and, although it hurts us to admit it, for the spectacle of the derby. Dani Ceballos, after an unfortunate blow in the match against Real Sociedad, will be away from the pitch for at least two months.

This injury will prevent him from facing Atlético in the two exciting derbies that are coming up, both at the Bernabéu and at the Metropolitano. This absence is a tough blow for the player, who will miss the opportunity to play in these important matches and demonstrate his worth on the field.

Furthermore, this injury truncates his possible return to the Spanish national team, where he hoped to wear the national shirt again. From here, we wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back in action as soon as possible, even if it is after the derbies, where his absence will undoubtedly be noticed. The Madrid derby loses a bit of its shine with Ceballos’ absence, but we are sure that our players will give their all on the field to take the victory and demonstrate, once again, what Atleti is made of.

Nico Williams ready for the big match at the Metropolitano

Good news for the Lions! Nico Williams, after a bout of flu that kept him resting, is ready to roar at the Metropolitano against Atlético. His return is a breath of fresh air for the team, especially after his goalscoring exhibition last Sunday.

Ernesto Valverde and Jon Aspiazu are relieved to have one of their key players available for this crucial encounter. The infirmary, however, offers no respite. Oihan Sancet, with a muscle injury, and Álvaro Djaló, suffering from a sprain, will be significant absentees for Athletic.

Both players have been training separately from the group, recovering from their respective ailments. Yuri Berchiche also did not go outside with the group during the minutes open to the press. But Nico Williams’ recovery is a reason for optimism.

His speed, skill and goalscoring ability will be essential to stand up to the Colchoneros on their own turf. Athletic fans are confident that the young winger will shine again and guide the team to victory in this important duel. Let’s go for it, Lions!
