Atlético: Intensive Preparation for the Red and White Tourmalet

Atlético de Madrid doesn’t rest. After their visit to Barcelona, the team is already focused on the next challenge: Athletic. With an unrelenting schedule that includes a crucial match against Real Madrid, Cholo Simeone knows that squad management will be key.

While the starters in Montjuïc performed recovery work, the substitutes trained intensely with Luis Piñedo, demonstrating that the Red and White bench is an inexhaustible source of resources.

Players like Sorloth, with eight goals coming off the bench, and Correa, with seven, are a clear example of the commitment and quality that Simeone demands. With Koke out and the possible absence of another important player in the crucial match against Real Madrid, the depth of the squad becomes even more valuable.

Simeone will have to resort to all his options: Le Normand, Nahuel Molina, Reinildo, and Lino, among others, are alternatives to refresh the team and maintain intensity in each match. Tomorrow’s training session will be vital to adjust details and prepare for a key match in the fight for the top spots in the standings.

Azpilicueta: A heavyweight in the Red and White locker room

Bad news for the Colchoneros fans: César Azpilicueta joins Koke in the infirmary. The defender, who already missed the Copa match, suffers a moderate muscle injury in his right leg, as confirmed by the club.

This means he will not be available for the important match against Athletic, nor apparently for the Champions League tie. A sensitive loss for the team. Despite this unfortunate injury, the positive impact that Azpilicueta has had on Atlético is undeniable.

With 12 matches played and more than 800 minutes on the field, his experience and leadership have been fundamental. Arriving this season, the player has become a pillar within the locker room, especially for his support to the youngest and his ability to transmit the instructions of the coaching staff.

Although this injury may truncate his participation in the next matches, Azpilicueta’s legacy in the club is undeniable. His career, crowned with the Champions League as Chelsea captain, brings a winning mentality and valuable experience. Surely, from a distance, he will continue to support his teammates. Come on, Azpilicueta, we’ll wait for you back at the Metropolitano!

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!
