Atlético Ready for the Derby! Koke, De Paul, and Lenglet Available
Great news for Atlético fans! Simeone has the entire squad available for the crucial derby. Koke, after recovering from his injury sustained three weeks ago against Celta, has rejoined the group and is expected to be in the squad.
His presence in midfield is vital for the team’s balance. Lenglet, absent in the last match against Getafe due to discomfort, has also recovered and is ready to defend the Rojiblanca defense. His experience and solidity will be important in a highly demanding match.
De Paul, who came off with some discomfort from the Coliseum, has trained without problems and will be available to Cholo. His physical deployment and vision of the game are fundamental to the team’s attack. The squad will concentrate after the training session at the Metropolitano.
Aware of the importance of the match, the fans are preparing a special welcome for the team at the concentration hotel. The unconditional support of the fans will be a plus to face this challenge. Now, Cholo must resolve some tactical unknowns: Who will accompany Giménez in the center of defense? Where will Llorente play? Who will occupy the left wing? The answers to these questions will be key to Atlético’s strategy in this decisive derby.
