Midfielder Rodrigo De Paul, world champion with Argentina, returned to Spain on Tuesday to rejoin Atlético de Madrid, a team led by Diego Simeone.
Through his official Instagram account, De Paul announced his return to the Spanish capital after the days off he received after winning the Qatar 2022 World Cup with the Argentine national team.
De Paul along with his teammates Nahuel Molina and Ángel Correa, also winners of the third star with the national team, will rejoin Atlético de Madrid training on Wednesday but will not be called up by “Cholo” Simeone for Thursday’s match against Elche that will mark the restart of the Spanish LaLiga.
However, the three world champions will be at the Cívitas Metropolitano stadium, as they will receive recognition from the club before the match.
The comeback of the Argentines could take place on Wednesday, January 4 against Real Oviedo for the Copa del Rey or on Sunday the 8th against Barcelona, in Madrid.
After 14 dates, the “Colchonero” is in fifth position with 24 points, 13 behind the leader Barcelona.
