• Epidemic ... Do you have an explanation what happens to Atlético?

Throughout the summer, Simeone has shown that his plan A for Atlético this season involves joining his two center strikers, Diego Costa and Morata , in the starting lineup with Joao Félix as supplier. But the plan seems gibberish. Costa missed the first two days of the League after being injured in the last friendly against Juventus (although the premiere against Getafe could not have played it by penalty) and rejoined the group this week. From the first training he worked as a titular couple of Morata facing the meeting on Sunday against Eibar, but ...

But this morning Atlético launched through its social networks one of its medical parts by surprise that have originated even parody accounts on Twitter, by habitual and unexpected: Morata suffered a moderate-grade knee sprain on Wednesday's training (novel definition ) and, although the club did not give an estimated low time, it is practically discarded for Eibar and, in case Robert Moreno were to summon him, he also seriously questions his presence with the selection for the matches against Romania and Islands Faroe

Last season, Atlético suffered 50 injuries , almost all of them muscular, a problem that the coaching staff blamed on the hangover of the World Cup and atypical preseason. This summer, with the return to the usual beatings of Los Angeles de San Rafael, Simeone and his trusted physical trainer, Professor Ortega, hoped to end the plague and, until now, it seemed that they were heading for Costa's injury as Only setback. But the medical part has returned , we will see if to stay.
