Diego Pablo Simeone’s team continues with their preparation in the concentration at Los Ángeles de San Rafael. This Sunday, after the morning session at the gym, evening work on the football field. The novelty was Cristian Rodríguez, who joined the trainings after being absent on Saturday due to gastroenteritis.

After the usual warm-up and a ball control exercise with another one based on speed, the team played a game on the whole field. Moyá, with muscular pain in his left thigh, was absent and carried out alternate work in the gym. Mandžukić didn’t join because he was carrying out a beep test and then did a continuous run with the three Uruguayans, Thomas and Xu Xin, although the latter took turns with Carlos Ramos to play the game.

The players in blue were: Oblak, Juanfran, Miranda, Saúl, Siqueira, Koke, Mario Suárez, Gabi, Arda Turan, Raúl García and Leo Baptistao. And, with the red bib: Bono, Manquillo, Nacho Monsalve, Lucas, Insua, Samuel, Borja, Guilavogui, Iván Alejo, Carlos Ramos (Xu Xin) and Héctor. The exercise lasted half an hour and ended in a 1-1 draw. First, Héctor scored in a lucky play, with a deflected shot included, and Raúl García tied with an accurate header. On Monday morning, work in the gym before heading to the golf course, to then have an evening session on the football field.
