Atletico Madrid is recovering from a disappointing Copa del Rey final loss to Real Sociedad as they prepare for crucial matches against Elche and Athletic Club in La Liga. With their Champions League semi-final against Arsenal approaching, coach Diego Simeone is prioritizing player fitness. Key attackers Ademola Lookman and Alexander Sorloth are currently sidelined due to discomfort and will train separately to avoid injury risks. This means they are unlikely to participate in the upcoming match against Elche on Wednesday. Simeone may rely on Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann as striker options, but could opt to rest them in anticipation of the Arsenal clash. The team's focus is on ensuring they are in peak condition for the high-stakes Champions League encounter.
