He Atletico Madrid is measured this Wednesday (7:30 pm) at Besiktas at the Vodafone Stadium, in a charity match to raise funds for the victims of the earthquake that hit Turkey in February through the Together for Türkiye organization and will be televised in Spain.

Diego Simeonemattress coach, sent 23 players to Istanbul, 20 from the first team (all available) and three from the subsidiary (Marco Moreno, Kostis and Carlos Martin). Only the wounded remained in Madrid Reinildo and Memphis Depaywho is already working on the pitch with the aim of reappearing next week at the Camp Nou against his team, FC Barcelona.

The Griezmann, De Paul, Oblak or Koke They are part of the expedition, but there are also three players who have been ostracized from the mattress team and could once again have minutes under Cholo’s command.

Is about Kondogbia, Doherty and Reguilón. The midfielder has not played for Atlético since January 29, when he took to the pitch at El Sadar in stoppage time to help the team keep the score 0-1 late in the clash. Since then, there has not been a single opportunity (he played two games in the Central African Republic), something strange considering that before he was counted regularly for the Argentine coach, who gave explanations about it.

“We couldn’t place Kondogbia because there is a lot of competition in the middle, but we know we don’t rely on him in some games and it’s hard to coach knowing this. It is within a club that is competitive and we have to continue in the same way in the group so that because of this team we can see what we see,” said Simeone.

For his part, Dohertywho arrived on the last day of the winter market from Tottenham, He only had a minute in the match against Sevilla at the Metropolitan. He went on the pitch in a match that ended in a rojiblanca win (6-1) and it was decided then. He came to Atlético to be a substitute millbut the Argentine played everything and when not, Simeone chose crying. Despite the fact that the Irishman can act as a left winger (he did it with his team in the last break in the league) Cholo did not think about this option either.

Reguilón, 97 minutes since August

and then there is reguilon, returned after recovering from a muscle injury. The man from Madrid, like Doherty, came from Tottenham (he was on loan and in the summer, but injured) He participated in only five duels in the entire seasonall in return, accumulating a total of 97 minutes.

Atlético have already made the decision not to negotiate to extend his loan. but Reguilón wants to say goodbye leaving a good taste in the mouth. And that stopped to regain sensations and have minutes on the field. It is expected that, as Kondogbia and Doherty, have them this Wednesday in Istanbul.
