Gallagher: 'Colchonero' Commitment and International Aspirations

Atlético de Madrid resumed training after the international break, with Diego Simeone focusing on the players who remained in the capital. A name that stood out was Conor Gallagher, who experienced an unusual situation by not being called up by the English national team.

This contrasts with his previous call-up under the same coach, where he was even a starter and scorer. Gallagher’s absence on this occasion was surprising, considering his regularity in call-ups since September 2022, when he was called up to the U-21s.

Since then, the midfielder had remained a regular in his country’s lists. His performance with Atlético has been remarkable, highlighting his goal in the derby against Real Madrid and his assist against Barcelona.

In both matches, he demonstrated the intensity and physical display that Simeone demands. Gallagher seeks to establish himself in the ‘Colchonero’ team and does not give up returning to the English national team, especially with his sights set on the Club World Cup. His dedication and commitment to Atlético are undeniable, and his ambition to represent his country remains intact.
