Atlético prepare for Rayo clash with Baena set to feature | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid is finalizing preparations for tomorrow's match against Rayo Vallecano at the Metropolitano, with a new training session. Only one victory in the last 5 league matches—that's the record for the rojiblancos, who are looking to bring some joy to their fans at home before this Saturday's derby.

After the gym session, this morning's training continued with some activation exercises with and without the ball, in which all the players participated, focusing on the Atlético – Rayo Vallecano match. Afterwards, as usual, Jan Oblak, Juan Musso, and Salvador Esquivel separated from the group and headed to a goal to perform specific goalkeeper drills and work on defensive aspects.

The only absences today were Thiago Almada and Johnny Cardoso, who are still recovering from their respective injuries. On the other hand, Álex Baena and Giménez continue their gradual return, slowly getting back into the daily routine with the team. While the Uruguayan center-back is regaining his form, the former Villarreal player is training with the aim of being available tomorrow for Cholo. Simeone has been seen highly involved and attentive to all his players’ movements, carefully preparing tomorrow’s starting eleven.
