The flu hits the Sporting

Iñaki Tejada has acknowledged that "the flu is conditioning preparation match against Valencia and may also do so with the lineup," especially if the recovery and Adrian Colunga Botia is not complete.

However, the technician will maintain the 4-3-3 scheme with which she played last Sunday against Osasuna. Tejada has not hinted at practice this week which is compounded by the uncertainty on the recovery of Botia and Colunga and casualties have been confirmed in defense of Ivan Hernandez and Nacho Cases in midfield, which is more crucial since probably involves the repositioning of a player.

Cases come by Eguren

The technician said that "everything that is added will be good" in a field that has been given bad to Atletico since his return to Premier League as they have not lost their last four visits despite Soldier is next Villa footballer who has scored more goals against Sporting in recent seasons.

The absence of Nacho Cases will be supplied by Sebastian Eguren in an attempt to bolster the defensive midfield while Carmelo may change the side on medium-tip especially if the process is recovered Colunga influenza, and this is which entered the right combination that would be the substitution for André Castro.

No confirmation of the coach would likely alignment formed by Juan Pablo, Lora, Botia, Gregory, Canella, Eguren, Rivera, De las Cuevas, Carmelo, Adrian Colunga and Barral.

Gregory for his greater physical strength and experience seems to be the companion of Botia in the center of defense to try to stop a young soldier at the expense of Galvez, who will be on the call after playing two good games in which he even mark a goal.

Iñaki Tejada said that "the staff is greatly concerned with the situation in the team" and that "the players are very receptive to the slogans and eager to do well."

He said he did not need the confirmation of the board of the club earlier this week, but has recognized that "once there was things you can work with the longer term."

The staff will conduct a final practice session tomorrow morning session and then give Tejada squad, 18 in total instead of 21 or 22 that used to take his predecessor, Manolo Preciado, who will be traveling early in the afternoon a charter flight.
