Marcos Llorente trains separately on the day he's called up by Spain | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid is finalizing preparations for the match against Celta this Sunday, corresponding to the eighth round of LaLiga. The red-and-whites hope to continue the positive momentum that has been lacking since the start of the season, which has allowed them to score 13 goals in the last three matches against Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid, and Eintracht Frankfurt.

This morning's session began with all the first-team players healthy and available for Cholo Simeone, who was seen demanding intensity and even more speed and fluidity in the game from his players. Johnny Cardoso, who yesterday stepped onto the field to touch the ball and begin the final stage of his recovery, was not seen today, and Marcos Llorente was absent. The Madrid player had an individualized workout session in the gym.

Additionally, Thiago Almada, Alexander Sørloth, and José María Giménez, Simeone's pupils who have not been in previous matches due to injury, completed today's session. They continue to exercise meticulously following the club's progressive return plan to avoid unnecessary risks and relapses.

The Call-up

On the other hand, another piece of news this morning was the national team call-up for the upcoming international break. The Spanish coach, Luis de la Fuente, announced the list at 11:30, in the middle of Atlético's training. He selected Robin Le Normand, Marcos Llorente, Pablo Barrios, and Álex Baena, who has just returned from injury.

The players will begin the training camp next Monday at 20:00, the time they are expected to be at the Ciudad del Fútbol in Las Rozas. We congratulate our players on their call-up and wish them much success for the two matches during the break.
