Pablo Barrios nears return for Atlético: set for Oct 10 at Mendizorroza

Pablo Barrios, of Atlético de Madrid, stepped up his recovery with a solo session this Thursday at Cerro del Espino in Majadahonda, working alongside readaptador físico Iván Cruz. As Mundo Deportivo reports, he moved from short passes to longer touches and finished with shots on goal, suggesting he’s close to being back to full training.
