Atletico Madrid Looks to London.. Oblak's Absence Raises Concerns
Atletico Madrid continues its preparations for the anticipated match in London for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 against Tottenham Hotspur. However, the team began preparations without their main goalkeeper, Jan Oblak, which raised some concerns within the coaching staff led by Diego Simeone.
The team held its final training session after the match against Getafe, where the players who started the game limited their activities to the gym. Among them was Oblak, who did not train on the field, leaving doubts about his potential participation in the London match.
The coaching staff is awaiting the development of the Slovenian goalkeeper's condition in the coming days to determine his status for traveling with the team, especially since the match is of great importance for securing qualification to the quarter-finals of the continental tournament.
Atletico holds a comfortable advantage after winning the first leg 5-2 in Madrid, but the potential absence of Oblak might lead Simeone to rely on Argentine goalkeeper Juan Musso to guard the goal in the decisive match on English soil.
