Atletico Madrid have returned to training ahead of a busy schedule in January 2025.
Los Rojiblancos will start the new year as leaders with a one-point lead over Real Madrid after eight games played for both sides.
Diego Simeone has followed the pattern of his rivals by giving his players a complete break while the league action is on pause.
According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the team returned to training today at Ciudad Deportiva in Majadahonda, but with two key absences.
Jose Maria Gimenez trained alone during the festive break as he tries to recover from the muscle injury and was absent from the team session.
French star Clement Lenglet was also missing due to illness, but neither player is a long-term concern.
The pair will miss the Copa del Rey trip to Marbella on January 4 as Simeone rotates, but they should be fit for a comeback in the competition at home to Osasuna on January 12.
