Significant Absences Hit Atlético Madrid Before Facing Elche
Atlético Madrid continues its preparations to face Elche in the Spanish League amidst difficult conditions due to absences and physical fatigue.
The team has completed its preparations for the match scheduled for Wednesday, but it will enter the game with an incomplete lineup due to injuries and the accumulation of matches.
Coach Diego Simeone's team is missing four key players, namely Ademola Lookman, Alexander Sorloth, Jose Maria Gimenez, and David Hancko, due to injury. Additionally, Matteo Ruggeri trained individually in the gym after sustaining an injury.
The team is experiencing significant physical strain after playing a 120-minute match in the Spanish King's Cup, in addition to the upcoming anticipated clash in the Champions League semi-final against Arsenal. This situation requires the coaching staff to carefully manage the players' minutes to avoid further injuries.
Simeone is expected to give opportunities to several academy players, such as Julio Diaz and Bonar, and some of them might appear in the starting lineup. The team is also aiming to reintegrate some names like Pablo Barrios and Jan Oblak after periods of absence due to injury.
