Diego Pablo Simeone incorporated Joao Miranda in training after missing a few days since the match with Real Sociedad. The centre back had worked in the gym and had to pass through the hands of the physiotherapists team to recover from a blow to the right ankle. The Brazilian participated seamlessly with the rest of his teammates throughout the session, lasting one hour and 45 minutes. They began with abdominal work and coordination with the ball before proceeding with continuous running and ended with a game working on strategy for Sunday (19:00, Canal Plus Liga) against Osasuna in Pamplona.

The Portuguese player Tiago was also on the grass of the field 1 of the Sports City and continues his recovery after surgery on his right arm two weeks ago. Domingo Cisma was absent for personal reasons and the youth players Oliver, Manquillo, Saul and Thomas joined the group to complete this session.
