Team Update: Injury Concerns Ahead of Key Match Against Getafe

omidbasir- An injury concern has made Cardoso a significant topic of discussion in Thursday’s training session. The central midfielder did not participate with the team, mirroring the absence of Julián, who was already sidelined on Wednesday. Julián, a key forward, remains a focal point of attention, with moderate optimism that he may be fit to participate in the upcoming match at the Coliseum after spending time in the gym.

In addition to Julián, Le Normand and Oblak also missed training, although Oblak has not yet been ruled out for the match against Bordalás’ side. Musso returned to the group, while among the international Spanish players, only Pablo Barrios took to the field, having not played in the recent match against Turkey. Llorente and Baena, alongside Giménez, have made progress in their recovery in the gym.

Simeone emphasized the team’s objective, stating, “The goal is to regain possession and score,” as they prepare for a challenging encounter against Getafe, known for having one of the strongest defensive setups in LaLiga. The Rojiblancos faced defeat to them last season, and this time, three crucial points are at stake for Atleti, who currently sit fourth, six points behind Madrid.
