Quique S. Flores calls up 20 players for the clash against Real Madrid
Borja Gonzalez and Alberto Perea are the novelties in the list
The Atlético de Madrid first squad held a closed-door training session at the Majadahonda Sports Complex for almost two hours on the morning of Wednesday 19 January to finish up their preparation for the Copa del Rey fixture that the ‘rojiblancos’ will play against Real Madrid at Estadio Vicente Calderón on Thursday the 20th at 10 pm. The ‘colchoneros’ practiced in the presence of a banner, hung by their faithful supporters, which read: (translated into English) “An ‘atlético’ never gives up; come on champion!”
The new inclusions in the 20-player roster given by Quique Sánchez Flores for this match are reserve squad players Borja González and Alberto Perea.
