The Atlético Madrid squad inspected the pitch at the Philips Stadium on Monday night during a sixty-minute training session. The Spaniards, who arrived in Eindhoven on Monday, return to the Champions League after an absence of eleven years. John Heitinga is doubtful for Tuesday's game.
Behind closed doors
Spanish, Dutch and Mexican media representatives were given an opportunity to watch the players train for fifteen minutes, but they were obviously none the wiser about the game plan Atlético Madrid coach Javier Aguirre has in mind. They saw the players warm up and pass the ball around, after which the Spanish team continued to train behind closed doors to prepare for tomorrow night's game. John Heitinga is doubtful after the defender sustained a knee injury during Holland's 2-1 win away at Macedonia. The Spanish team bus left the Philips Stadium at 8.30pm, sent off by a few dozens of fans.
