Atlético de Madrid will appeal to the Competition Committee the cards that Felipe Monteiro and Kondogbia saw against Espanyol, yellow in the case of the Brazilian and second yellow in the case of the French. He understands that the two are unfair and will fight for a favorable resolution. And soon since there is already the League tomorrow and Simeone, for this match against Granada on Wednesday (7:00 p.m.), he is missing six players, Felipe and Kondogbia for respective sanctions, in addition to the injured Lemar and João Félix (Today tests were carried out to determine the exact extent of their injuries) and Herrera and Gimenez who have been almost 20 days without working with the group.
The second yellow that Kondogbia saw against Espanyol, the one that gave him the red, occurred on the edge of the area after the ball, which came from a rebound, the ball had hit Felipe’s leg, accidentally hit him in the hand, without giving the player time to react. A highly protested card on the field that left Atlético with ten and that the rojiblanco club will appeal to Competition. Like the one that Felipe saw, which brings him suspension. A minor foul on Darder.

Simeone-Berta conclave
Atlético trained this morning at Cerro del Espino after the game against Espanyol in a session in which the starters did alternative work and went to the pitch only the substitutes jumped or those who did not play (Suárez, De Paul, Wass, Hermoso, Reinildo…). They were not with the group neither Giménez (although the charrúa did work on the pitch, apart and with the ball) nor Herrera so his presence against Granada on Wednesday seems difficult. The most striking thing about the session, in fact, took place on the edges of the training field with Simeone and Andrea Berta, sports director, in a talk that lasted the 15 minutes of the open part for the press. Conclave in order to face what remains, the last six days of the League with the rojiblanco team tied with Barça and Sevilla (60 points) and Betis at three (57) in the fight for those three remaining positions of the four that give access to the next Champions League, Madrid outstanding leader, with 15 over the following.
