DFCuti Romero is making progress in his recovery and is starting to look at the match against Getafe as a possible return date. According to MARCA, the Argentine centre-back is already training alone with running, sprints and changes of pace alongside a rehab specialist, although he has still not taken the step of working with the ball.
The expectation is that he could join the group next week, always depending on how he responds in the coming sessions. Atletico are clear they will not bring forward the timetable unless there are guarantees, so his presence against Getafe will depend on him completing the planned recovery without setbacks.
Meanwhile, the red-and-white side returned to work with a session heavily affected by absences. Only six first-team players took part: Koke, Llorente, Le Normand, Cardoso, Arnau Ortiz and Dani Martinez. The rest of the group was reduced by the presence of 17 internationals away from the club.
The session was not led by Diego Pablo Simeone, who was granted leave for a personal matter. In his place, Luis Pinedo took charge of training, alongside Gabi and Bonvicini.
Fantasy angle
From a Fantasy perspective, Cuti Romero's situation calls for caution. The progress is positive, but he is still not working with the ball and Atletico are not considering rushing his return. If his comeback to the group is confirmed next week, he could improve his chances of making the squad against Getafe, although for now he remains one to monitor day by day.
