Fresh Blood at Atlético: Youth Academy Players to the Rescue
Atlético de Madrid is preparing to host Valladolid at the Metropolitano, and Simeone has surprised fans with a squad list that breathes youth and talent. With the forced absences of De Paul, Lino, and Correa, El Cholo responds by calling up two promising youth academy players: Javi Serrano and Omar Janneh.
Serrano, already known to the fans, returns to contribute his energy and quality in midfield, while Janneh, a forward from Atlético B, will experience his first time with the first team.
This commitment to the youth academy demonstrates Simeone’s confidence in the club’s future and the importance of training players from the base. The full squad includes goalkeepers Oblak, Musso, and Gomis, a solid defensive line with Azpilicueta, Molina, Giménez, Le Normand, Lenglet, Witsel, Reinildo, and Javi Galán.
The midfield will be led by Koke, accompanied by Barrios, Llorente, Riquelme, Gallagher, Lemar, and the young Javi Serrano. In attack, Griezmann, Sorloth, Giuliano, Julián Alvarez, and Omar Janneh will look to break through the opposition’s goal. The Rojiblancos are eagerly awaiting this match, trusting in the fighting spirit and grit that characterize the team, and hoping to see the new promises of Atlético de Madrid shine. Aúpa Atleti!
