Ups and Downs at Atleti! Return to the Metropolitano
Good news, Atlético fans! Simeone continues to fine-tune preparations for the upcoming match against Real Sociedad, with eyes set on the highly anticipated return to the Metropolitano after a challenging away game.
The training session at Cerro saw the reintegration of Julián into the group after enjoying a few days of rest. While his presence on the field is a cause for joy, he will unfortunately not be able to participate in the match due to a suspension for accumulating yellow cards.
Witsel also joined the training session after overcoming an indisposition. Despite his return, it is uncertain whether he will have a leading role in Cholo’s starting eleven. Riquelme, absent during the week due to a muscle contracture, and Óscar Pitillas worked separately alongside Julián and Witsel.
Azpilicueta was absent due to an indisposition. Simeone continues to work on the strategic approach for the match, with some notable absences. In addition to Julián’s absence, Griezmann will also be unavailable.
The possible starting eleven includes Oblak; Llorente, Giménez, Le Normand, Galán; Giuliano, Barrios, De Paul, Koke, Lino; and Sorloth. Lino’s return to the starting eleven stands out, thanks to his great performance in the last match. Keep supporting the team with the same passion as always!
