Atletico Madrid returned to work on Thursday evening session on field 4 of the Majadahonda Sports City. Simeone could count a a full strength squad after Courtois, Falcao, Cristian Rodriguez and Godin return from international commitments. The Uruguayans came just in time to start the training due to some mechanical problems on the flight back, which forced them to take an alternative route with the consequent delay. After fifteen minutes of physical work on the pitch the Colombian and Uruguayan left the pitch to undertake a regenerative session in the gym.

The Argentine coach worked again with youth players Óliver Torres and Javier Manquillo in a group that the Turk Arda Turan also rejoined after returning from international duty.

Five home grown player Jesús, Villa, Milla, Keita y Benji also contributed to the session as they prepared for Sunday's important match against Valencia.
