Simeone sticks with his usual eleven ahead of Alavés clash | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid continues preparing for their third league match, training with their sights set on Alavés. The injuries to José María Giménez and Álex Baena are still affecting the group’s rhythm. Next Saturday, August 30, Atlético will fight for another three points away from home, this time at Mendizorroza against Deportivo Alavés.

After a Sunday of readaptation and a Monday off, Diego Pablo Simeone kicked off the week by separating the substitutes from the match against Elche for a stretching and activation session. The starters from the match against the team from Elche began training alongside youth players from Atlético Madrileño such as Jano Monserrate, Taufik Seidu, and Aitor Gismera. Afterwards, all outfield players took part in an approach exercise. In four lines, they played constant one-on-ones to improve individual skills and perfect tracking defense.

Dani Rubio joined the goalkeeping drills, led by Pablo Vercellone, with Salvador Esquivel also returning. The Atlético de Madrid C players training with the first team are Jairo Fernández and Javi Aznar.

A rehearsal with no surprises

During training, still several days before Alavés – Atlético, Simeone also had the chance to rehearse with the same starting eleven he chose for the second matchday against Elche. With Oblak in goal; Ruggeri, Hancko, Le Normand, and Marcos Llorente in defense. Barrios and Cardoso as the double pivot, Giuliano and Almada on the wings, and up front Sørloth alongside Julián Alvarez.
