Atlético back in training after defeat to Espanyol | OneFootball

Back to training after a day of rest and following the defeat against Espanyol in the first matchday of LaLiga. Cholo Simeone’s team chose to split the first-team squad into two groups with different objectives. This measure could help resolve the lingering doubts about the double pivot of Atlético’s midfielders. Johnny Cardoso and Conor Gallagher were the only ones who did not train with the starters against the Perico team.

On one hand, the group made up of Le Normand, Hancko, Llorente, Ruggeri, Almada, Baena, Julián, and Giuliano Simeone focused on warming up during the first minutes and then worked on combinations and possession with the ball during the following exercises. On the other hand, the group of substitutes along with Cardoso and Gallagher were stretching and doing mobility exercises and runs under the guidance of Luis Piñedo. Alongside them, a Sørloth who seems to have grown tired of being a substitute and is taking the initiative by asking to leave.

Several youth academy players were able to train alongside the players who started in the last match. Among them were Izan Muñoz, Raúl Girona, Adrián Almeida, Jan Colomé, Daniel Muñoz, and Sergio Vinatea. All from the Juvenil category.
