Recharge and Refocus! Atlético Gearing Up for Bilbao
Atlético de Madrid has returned to training in Majadahonda after the thrilling draw in Montjuic against Barcelona, in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals. The players underwent a recovery session, divided between starters and substitutes, with their minds set on the crucial match against Athletic Club.
However, not all news is good, as Azpilicueta joins the list of absentees. The club confirmed that the defender is suffering from a moderate muscle injury in his right leg, sustained during the League match against Valencia.
For now, he will undergo physiotherapy and rehabilitation work. This absence adds to the already known absence of Koke, who is also recovering from a muscle injury suffered in the match against Celta. The midfielder is expected to be out of action for some time.
These are the only confirmed absences for the important match on Saturday against Athletic Club. A key duel for the Colchoneros to keep their aspirations for the League title alive, facing a direct rival for Champions League spots. Let’s go for it, team!
