Atlético-MG welcome new face as they gear up for Copa Sudamericana final | OneFootball

This Monday, Atlético-MG began preparations to face Lanús in the Copa Sudamericana final, on Saturday at 5 p.m. (Brasília time), at Estadio Defensores Del Chaco in Asunción. The big news at training was Tomás Cuello, who has made progress in recovering from his ankle fracture and took to the pitch at Cidade do Galo.

Fifty-six days ago, the forward underwent surgery to repair the injured area suffered in the first leg of the Sudamericana quarterfinals against Bolívar. This afternoon, he was cleared to perform progressive linear runs under the supervision of the fitness coaches.

The training session

The players who played most of the match in the defeat to Red Bull Bragantino stayed in physiotherapy and the gym for regenerative exercises. The rest of the squad went out onto the pitch for physical and technical drills.

Galo will train two more times before traveling to Asunción, Paraguay, this Wednesday. Then, preparations will continue with a focus on Lanús at Libertad stadium on Thursday and Friday.

Season situation

In addition to the continental tournament final, Galo is in tenth place in the Brazilian Championship, with 44 points accumulated. In the last match, a postponed 16th round fixture, they lost to Red Bull Bragantino 2–0 and have now gone two games without a win.
