Atletico Madrid returned to work on Friday to prepare for the clash against Las Palmas with two pieces of great news. Pablo Barrios and Lenglet returned to training with the group after overcoming their respective injuries.
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has Pablo Barrios and Lenglet back from their respective injuries suffered a week and a half ago against Leganes to return to competition, either this Sunday against Las Palmas in the Spanish League or next Wednesday against PSG in the Champions League.
The academy player, with a slight muscular complaint and out of the last three games against Lille, Betis and Vic, joined the training sessions with the group this Friday, in which he has been an important player in the coach’s scheme this season, although he has only been able to play in two of the last 11 games due to two injuries.
Lenglet had already begun his partial comeback in the last two sessions, having already recovered from ankle and knee sprains, which occurred just when he had played his only two games as a starter.
While both are ready, Simeone is keeping an eye on Lemar, who suffered an adductor injury in Thursday’s game in Vic, in which he was substituted for that reason.
Also absent are Marcos Llorente, out for the last five games with a muscle injury; Cesar Azpilicueta, out for the last eight games with a soleus injury; and Robin Le Normand, who has already missed six games due to the head injury with subdural haematoma he suffered against Madrid.
