Cristian Rodríguez, the big novelty of a 19-player list
Mandzukic was not on the squad list and continues to recover from the nasal fracture operation he suffered at the duel against the Olympiacos.
Atlético de Madrid trained on Field 4 of Majadahonda's Sports City to finish preparing for the game against UD Almería this Wednesday, September 23rd at 20:00 (CET).
Diego Pablo Simeone summoned 19 players, all available, for the match of the League's fifth round. The news is Cristian Rodríguez's return to the squad, who's recovered from his muscle injury. The only absence is that of Mario Mandzukic, who had surgery on his nasal fracture he suffered from a nudge by Olympiacos' player Kasami three minutes into the match played last Tuesday, September 16th. The Croatian, who was discharged from the hospital, has trained with his teammates, but has not travelled as a precaution.
The red and white players concentrate this afternoon before travelling to the Andalusian city, aiming to get a new League win away from the Vicente Calderón after the one achieved at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Goalkeepers: Moyá and Oblak.
Defenders: Juanfran Torres, Miranda, Diego Godín, Siqueira, Ansaldi and Giménez.
Midfielders: Mario Suárez, Tiago, Koke, Gabi, Arda Turan, Cerci, Cristian Rodríguez and Saúl.
