Atletico de Madrid's preparations for the ninth matchday of LaLiga EA Sports leave two standout names. Koke and Johnny Cardoso have not taken part in the group training session, although their situations are different and, for now, neither absence is considered a confirmed drop for the clash against RCD Espanyol.
The red-and-white side has also scheduled a recovery session for the players who started as such in the latest Champions League match, with the aim of managing the accumulated workload.

MDIn the case of Koke, the midfielder has done specific work in the gym. The captain was not available for the previous European game due to the death of his mother and has still not returned to collective training.
Despite his absence on the pitch, no difficulties are expected for him to be available against Espanyol. There is even the possibility that he could return directly to the starting XI in the next league match.

MDThe other absence of the day has been that of Johnny Cardoso. The American midfielder has been unable to take part in training due to an illness that prevented him from working alongside his team-mates.
His return will depend on how he feels over the next few hours. On Friday he could train normally again, provided he has overcome the discomfort that caused him to miss this session.
