World Sports: Atletico Madrid prepares for Sevilla, Simeone is considering how to deal with Barrios absence

According to "World Sports News", Atletico Madrid is preparing for the game against Sevilla. Musso and Barrios have missed training due to influenza and injuries.

Atletico Madrid is preparing for the upcoming game against Sevilla, but Musso and Barrios were unable to participate in this training due to influenza and injuries. Coach Simeone is considering how to deal with the absence of Barrios, who suffered an injury against Real Betis last weekend. Currently, the main problem facing Simeone is how to fill the vacancy left by Barrios.

There are several options: One is to let Cardoso serve as the midfield organizer, but he has not played since the game against Alaves and may be in poor condition. The second is to choose Gallagher, who is more dynamic but has less passing ability. The third possibility is to return Llorente to the midfield position to partner Koke.

In training on Thursday, Simeone divided the players into two groups, but neither group looked like a complete starting lineup. The first group includes Pubil, Jimenez, Hanzko and Ruggeri as the defense, Giuliano Simeone, Llorente, Koke, Nico Gonzalez and Baena as the midfield, and Alvarez and Serlot as the striker.

These 11 players seem to hint at the competition between Nico Gonzalez and Baena, as well as the possibility that Serlot may return to the starting lineup. The appearance of Pubil and Ruggieri at the full-back position is also surprising.

The other group consists of Molina, Lenorment, Lenglet, Garland, Carlos Martin, Gallagher, Cardoso, Almada, Raspadori and Griezmann. There are two other possibilities for a midfield combination in this group, namely Gallagher and Cardoso, but it seems unrealistic for these two to appear at the same time.

Barrios's absence is important news in this training. The Spanish international felt unwell in Monday's game against Betis and was replaced by Gallagher in the 54th minute. He has been diagnosed with a mild muscle injury that will see him miss Saturday's game against Sevilla and possibly even the following Champions League games. As an indispensable member of Simeone this season, Barrios has started 12 times in 13 games, 9 of which have played the entire game.

Another absentee from training is Musso, who missed training for two consecutive days due to the flu, but is expected to return against Sevilla.
