Giuliano limps off training, no Julián but Musso takes part | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid is in luck. All the international players from the red and white squad have already landed in Madrid after two weeks of an intense break that halted the progress of the major leagues and the good momentum of Atleti. Diego Pablo Simeone can count on most of them in preparation for this Sunday’s match at 18:30 against Getafe at the Coliseum.

The highlight of the day had been the return of Pablo Barrios and Dávid Hancko to training with the first team, as well as that of Juan Musso, who was absent yesterday due to personal matters. It was a perfect day until the news at Cerro del Espino turned grim.

Giuliano withdraws with discomfort

Giuliano Simeone withdrew from training with discomfort, setting off alarm bells in the Atlético camp. As soon as he felt some pain in his hamstrings, the youngest of the Simeone family decided not to take any risks and left the session. Initial forecasts pointed to a muscle injury. However, medical tests have determined that there is no tear, but the Club wants to remain cautious and it remains to be seen if precautions will be taken ahead of the Getafe match.

Despite the scare with ‘Cholito’, Simeone remains hopeful after the return of Julián Álvarez to the red and white training ground following his bout of fever. He completed a gym session apart from his teammates. Jan Oblak did the same, as he tries to recover from his discomfort in time, although he is still a serious doubt for Sunday’s match. Johnny Cardoso was also absent due to illness.

Meanwhile, José María Giménez, Marcos Llorente, and Álex Baena, the last to return after the international break, will be back under Cholo’s orders tomorrow if everything goes as planned.
