Koke leads the Red and White Recovery!
Atlético de Madrid is preparing intensely for its crucial match at the Metropolitano. Diego Pablo Simeone surprised the team with a change of routine, moving training to the stadium in an evening session.
This strategic decision seeks to shield the team’s preparation from prying eyes, facilitate the logistics of the official UEFA press conference, and concentrate the team that same night, something unusual on the eve of night matches.
The good news is the reincorporation of Koke Resurrección into the group after his injury, a key emotional and football reinforcement for the midfield. Both Lenglet and De Paul, who had been suffering from physical discomfort since the match against Getafe, also trained with the rest of their teammates.
Lenglet and Koke completed an extra training session in the morning, focusing on their recovery. De Paul, despite showing a limp due to a blow in the match against Getafe, is expected to be available for the important match.
