  /  autty

The Atletico Madrid players returned to training on Thursday after having a day off on Wednesday, and Diego Simeone was able to welcome Ivan Saponjic back into the fold.

This comes after the 22-year-old attended a barbecue last Sunday with Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic and Getafe midfielder Nemanja Maksimovic.

On Tuesday, Saponjic was made to train alone and undergo a PCR test to check that he didn't have coronavirus.

The only players Simeone didn't have available were Vitolo and Felipe, who worked on the sidelines, while Sime Vrsaljko continued to work in the gym.

As well as Saponjic's return, Angel Correa was also able to rejoin his teammates after having recovered from a left leg injury he sustained on May 29.

Everything indicates that the team that will face Athletic Club on Sunday will be: Jan Oblak; Kieran Trippier, Stefan Savic, Jose Gimenez, Renan Lodi; Yannick Carrasco, Thomas Partey, Koke, Saul Niguez; Marcos Llorente; and Diego Costa.
