ANDIn a football where the calendar is getting tighter every day, the truth is that the national team break has arrived at the best possible moment for the Athletic. After adding a single victory in the seven games played between LaLiga and the Champions League, leaving a clean sheet on one occasion and conceding twelve goals in all these appearances, a change of air to the rojiblanca squad was not bad at all. Resetting the head, concentrating with the national team for a few days and recharging batteries to face the final stretch of the year is one of the objectives in the last selection window of this 2021.

In addition, beyond the numbers, the results and the sensations, the truth is that these 13 days that separate the clash against the Valencia in Mestalla of the appointment before Osasuna at Metropolitan will serve for Simeone recover two footballers so important to him Athletic as they are Thomas Lemar and Marcos Llorente. Both the Madrid and the French will join the group next week at the latest to prepare for the next league match.

Personal trainings

In the case of Marcos Llorente, he has missed five games as a result of a muscle injury and in these first days of the week he is immersed in the final stretch of his recovery working alone. The fact that the group is barely made up of Kondogbia, Lecomte, Felipe and Vrsaljko makes you not in a hurry for your return to training under the orders of Simeone.

In a similar situation is a Thomas lemar which also points to the quote in front of Osasuna after missing commitments in front of Levante, Betis, Valencia and Liverpool at Anfield. The Frenchman, like the Madrilenian, can save time on the calendar with this break and be prepared for the next day of The league.

In a situation similar to those of Lemar and Llorente but without having missed a single match of the last disputed by the Athletic is Mario Hermoso. The coaching staff has scheduled with the defense a dosage of loads as a result of the accumulated wear and tear due to the accumulation of minutes in these three weeks in which he has played three complete games and as many as a starter.

Another footballer to whom the break has come to perfection is Kieran trippier. The full-back will be out of the field for more than a month as a result of the grade three sprain he suffers in his shoulder, but half of the recovery time he will do it without seeing his teammates compete.

Thus, it is time to recover the legs and the mind to return to the path of triumph.
