He Atlético de Madrid preparations continued this Friday morning in Majadahonda for Sunday’s match against Leganes at the Metropolitan (4:15 p.m.). Finally, Diego Simeone was able to rely on all internationals on the pitch after only four players trained on the pitch on Thursday (Gallagher, Sorloth, Barrios and Riquelme).

Despite already having all the internationals, the Argentine coach trained with an eleven without them. In fact, of the nine players who left with their respective teams, only three will be starters on Sunday according to a test conducted by Cholo: Oblak, Molina and Sorloth. That is, men like it Julián, De Paul, Giménez or Reinildo They start on the bench.
Being new is having again Giuliano as an improvised right winger, although for the match against Leganés, Nahuel will occupy that position. Galan and Lengletafter their good performance at the Reale Arena in San Sebastián, they will remain in the eleven.
Simeone tried the following team: Oblak; Giuliano (Molina), Witsel, Lenglet, Galán, Lino, Koke, Barrios, Griezmann, Correa and Sorloth. It remains to be seen the disposition of the footballers on the pitch.
