Koke is Back! Colchoneros Squad for Copa Clash
Great news, Atlético fans! Simeone has called up Koke Resurrección for the crucial Copa del Rey match against FC Barcelona. The Rojiblanco captain, absent since his muscle injury suffered against Celta de Vigo on February 15, returns to the squad after missing the last eight games.
His presence is a huge boost for the team, which is looking for a comeback at the Metropolitano. Koke, a fundamental piece in Simeone’s scheme, was already part of the squad for the return leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Real Madrid, although he was not ultimately in the final list.
Now, fully recovered, he is expected to bring his experience and leadership in midfield. In addition to Koke’s return, the list also includes academy player Rayane Belid, who has been a constant in recent call-ups.
The only confirmed absence for the match is Ángel Correa, who continues to serve his suspension. With Oblak, Musso, Molina, Le Normand, Griezmann and company, Atlético de Madrid faces this important challenge with the hope of advancing in the Copa del Rey and bringing joy to their fans. Come on, Atleti!
