""Matteo Ruggeri's playtime? From the first match until now, there have been many changes due to injuries and suspensions," the head coach said. "He played well in the Champions League. Everyone must be ready. "[On Nico Gonzalez playing at full-back] His qualities allow him to play in several positions. "He has the ability to offer different options, and we'll always decide based on what the team needs.""
"Diego Simeone insisted "everyone must be ready" in his Atletico Madrid squad, as they look to climb the LaLiga table."
Atletico Madrid have collected 13 points from their first eight LaLiga games, their lowest tally at this stage since 2011-12 when they had 10 points and finished fifth. The team has dropped 11 points from winning positions, the most among clubs in Europe's top five leagues. Atletico face Osasuna at home, then away trips to Arsenal in the Champions League and Real Betis in LaLiga. Matteo Ruggeri has started once in the last six games, and players must remain ready to play whenever called upon in any needed position. Antoine Griezmann sits on 199 LaLiga goals and could reach 200; he has not scored in his four previous home matches against Osasuna at the Metropolitano. Raul Garcia recorded his only LaLiga brace in 79 matches against Atleti at the Metropolitano in May 2024.
