Atlético de Madrid’s training session on Thursday at the Majadahonda Sports Complex was marked by the absence of Kun Agüero, who didn’t practice due to problems in his left calf muscle. On the other hand, Godín began with alternative work with Oscar Pitillas, team physical trainer, before joining the group work. Luis Perea continued to recover from the injury he suffered against Malaga. For his part, Juanfran also rejoined training.

Atlético B players Atienza and César Ortiz trained with the first squad, along with Atlético de Madrid Juvenil de Honor goalkeeper Hueto. The netminders began their normal work with Emilio Alvarez, while the group did some 4v2s and possession games.

Afterwards, the squad was divided into two: while one did finishing drills, the other worked on physical strength exercises. Then Quique Sánchez Flores swapped the groups for them to complete the same drills.
