De Paul and Lino Aim for Triumphant Return
Atlético de Madrid has returned to training at Cerro del Espino with their sights set on the upcoming match at the Metropolitano. However, Cholo Simeone may not be able to count on two key players: Rodrigo de Paul and Samu Lino, both recovering from muscle injuries suffered last week.
These injuries sidelined them from the match against Sevilla and, in principle, also from the next match. Despite the absences, optimism remains at the club. It is hoped that both the Argentinian midfielder, fundamental in the team’s scheme, and the Brazilian winger, a regular on the left wing, can be ready for the match.
In fact, De Paul has already started jogging on the field, accompanied by the physical trainer, while Lino is exercising in the gym. Although their participation in the next game is not completely ruled out, their early return would be a surprise.
The rest of the squad is training under Simeone’s orders, with high morale and the clear objective of continuing to add points in the standings. In addition to De Paul and Lino, Simeone will also not be able to count on Ángel Correa, who is serving his last match suspension.
The good news is the return of José María Giménez, after serving a suspension for accumulation of cards. With the grit and fighting spirit that characterize Atleti, the team is preparing to face the challenges ahead, with the hope that De Paul and Lino will return soon to contribute their quality to the Colchonero game.
