Atlético de Madrid have a very important match in LaLiga next Sunday. Valencia CF , despite the difficult start of the season they are having, will visit the Metropolitano in search of three points that will restore the confidence they lost earlier. All this in a complicated week of preparation, as the international break has forced many players to join their clubs late.
However, in today's training session, Diego Pablo Simeone received some news that will cheer him up ahead of the match against the Valencian team. It's not easy to prepare a starting eleven without being able to count on your best players, especially because you know that they could start without any problems. This is what happened with the four players who returned to work today in the morning training session in Majadahonda .
Reinforcements for the defense
Two of the players who have returned to the training ground today are Jan Oblak and Robin Le Normand . The Slovenian had to travel with his national team to play two matches in which he only played one of them, and as a starter. On the other hand, in the case of the central defender , he has had a much greater presence with the Spanish National Team , current European champions.
He was the only Atlético player called up by Luis de la Fuente , and he was a starter in both matches they played. However, his presence in red was ultimately tarnished by the red card he received against Switzerland, which left the team with one less player from the first half of the match. Whatever the case, both players have already left behind their experiences with Slovenia and Spain and have already returned to Atlético de Madrid .
Relief in the front
On the other hand, Antoine Griezmann and Alexander Sorloth are also available from today for Diego Pablo Simeone . In the case of the little prince, France is not having their best moment after the tough elimination in the Eurocup in the semi-finals. All this, added to the fact that the relationship between Didier Deschamps and the Atlético de Madrid star seems to be cooling down , these have not been the best weeks for the Frenchman.
Alexander Sorloth is the other side of the coin, as he has had some great matches with the Norwegian national team. Along with ErlingHalland , the new Atlético forward managed to provide an assist, as well as having quality minutes. Both players, barring any surprises, will surely have minutes and presence against Valencia in the next league match.
And there are still other players to arrive from the international break, such as Rodrigo de Paul, Nahuel Molina, Julián Alvarez , José María Giménez and Reinildo . All of them are expected to join the group dynamics in the next few days, and their presence next Sunday will be in the hands of Simeone . It will be Cholo who ends up deciding which internationals will end up starting against Rubén Baraja 's team.
