Marca reports that Cristian Romero is undergoing tests to determine the extent of his adductor injury, while Baena led a training session for players with reduced playing time.
Atletico Madrid, having just secured victory at the RCDE Stadium and solidified their position as Barcelona's closest challengers in LaLiga, resumed training Sunday morning immediately after their win, with their focus already turning to next Tuesday's Champions League opponent, Stuttgart. However, while most players recovered in the gym, the main concern emerged in the medical room, where Cristian Romero was undergoing tests to determine the severity of the adductor injury that forced his substitution against Espanyol.
Recall that the Argentine defender signaled to the bench for a substitution immediately after winning a challenge in the 60th minute, raising immediate concerns. Upon returning to Madrid, Cristian Romero underwent more detailed examinations to determine whether he had suffered an injury or merely experienced muscle fatigue.
While awaiting MRI results to assess his condition, Atletico Madrid conducted a training session on the pitch. Baena led a group of players including Lookman (who played only 45 minutes), Mendoza (who replaced Cristian Romero in the 67th minute), Sorloth, Arnau Ortiz, Le Normand, Dominguez, and Obed Vargas.
