Atletico Madrid began the week with a workout in the Majadahonda Sports City in which Diego Pablo Simeone divided the squad into two groups with different tasks for the starters against Real.

Thibout Courtois trained along with teammate Sergio Asenjo with Pablo Vercellone the goalkeeping coach. Joao Miranda, with discomfort in his right ankle, worked out in the gym. The other players who were part of the eleven were on pitch 4 of the installation doing recovery work directed by Oscar Ortega.

Those who weren’t in the starting eleven against Real Sociedad trained for 90 minutes. The players performed stretching, Rondos, exercise, crossing and shots on goal to finish with a small sided game. This group included youth teamer Óliver Torres, Javi Manquillo and Thomas Teye.

The squad will enjoy a rest day on Tuesday and will return to work on Wednesday from 11.00 am, in Majadahonda to prepare for Sunday's game against Osasuna at El Sadar at 19.00.
