Griezmann came off the bench in Czechia, with a 30-minute cameo, as part of a plan to keep him refreshed for the incoming weeks.

The 33-year-old remains crucial to Simeone in the Spanish capital, with six goals and six assists already laid on so far this season across all competitions, alongside 12 starts in 14 La Liga games.

As per reports from Diario AS, Griezmann took part in training as part of what is expected to be this weekend’s starting XI on the road at Real Valladolid in league action.

Victory for Simeone’s charges will keep them in touch in the title race and extend a six-game winning run across league, cup and European games since the end of October.
