Atletico Madrid resumed training on Monday without Spanish winger Victor "Vitolo" Machin or Montenegrin defender Stefan Savic, both still recovering from injuries.
After Saturday's goalless draw against Real Madrid followed by a rest day, Los Rojiblancos returned to practice led by head coach Diego Pablo Simeone with forwards Antoine Griezmann of France and Nikola Kalinic of Croatia, among others, as reported by an epa-efe journalist.
Atletico released a statement Monday confirming that Vitolo's sprained knee will keep him sidelined for Wednesday's UEFA Champions League home game against Belgium's Club Brugge, as well as Sunday's La Liga clash with Real Betis.
The winger continued his "specific and individualized training plan outside the group," according to the statement, after getting hurt on August 20 against Valencia.
Savic is recovering from a severe muscle injury he sustained on September 10 while playing for Montenegro in the UEFA Nations League.
