The situation
Despite the rest day that Cholo granted his men yesterday, this morning, and just over 48 hours before the derby is played at the Metropolitano, Jan Oblak trained on Majadahonda Field 1 to assess sensations, after staying in the gym yesterday . The Slovenian, suffering from a thigh injury after the league match against Real, hastens his options to reach Sunday. Since last Wednesday, September 7, after the team’s debut in the Champions League against Porto, he has not played again. He forced himself to be in the shock, just four days after suffering the blow and has accused him ever since . Neither in the victory against Celta nor in the pitch in Leverkusen was it in the game. This Friday he worked with the ball, together with the club’s trainers and his personal trainer, but he looked very limp . At a slow pace, the former Benfica player put on his gloves to perform both blocking and deflection exercises. The goalkeeper gave the feeling of suffering every time he had to go to the ground. With a worried face and pointing to his thigh, he explained to his trusted trainer the sensations he was experiencing, while the rest of the staff carefully followed each of his movements.
The details
Tomorrow the team will return to work at 10:00 in the Cerro and its evolution will depend on whether or not it is present. It will be his feelings, as in the last two games, that will mark a decision that is more his than Cholo’s. Those who also attended the sports city were the injured Reguilón, Savic, Giménez and Lemar. The loss of the first is certain, due to a pubalgia that has prevented him from being available since he arrived (he has not yet trained with his teammates as a rojiblanco player). For his part, Savic, 26 days after having to be substituted against Villarreal, has also not jumped to the green throughout the week and, although the club does not rule out his presence, everything indicates that it will be difficult to arrive on time . Yes, Giménez and Lemar could do it . While the Uruguayan did race work yesterday morning, the French dedicated himself to walking through the field. The presence of him or not with the group tomorrow, Saturday, will mark whether or not they enter the call.
