Thomas Partey steps up recovery ahead of RB Leipzig clash

  /  autty

Thomas Partey was back out on the grass on Monday as Atletico Madrid trained ahead of their Champions League quarter-final with RB Leipzig.

The midfielder has stepped up his recovery from an injury picked up during Atletico's final LaLiga Santander match of the season against Real Sociedad.

While Thomas did individual work, the rest of Diego Simeone's squad continued their preparations for Leipzig.

There is still a chance that the Ghanaian could be fit to face Julian Nagelsmann's side in Lisbon, and the same goes for Simo Vrsaljko.

The Croatian hasn't featured for Atletico since the season resumed in June but hasn't been ruled out of the Champions League as of yet.

The right-back didn't train with the group on Monday, but Joao Felix did.

He didn't participate in full training at the end of last week because of an injury problem but returned to work with Simeone's squad on Monday.
