The Rojiblanco team is heading to the South Korean capital for a preparation match, but the expedition presents several significant absences. Italian defender Matteo Ruggeri will not travel, as his future is pending a possible move to Aston Villa.
Joining Ruggeri's absence is Giuliano Simeone, who recently rejoined training after his participation in the World Cup with Argentina. Also not traveling are Spain's World Cup champions, Alejandro Grimaldo and Marc Pubill, who have shortened their holidays and will join the team later.
On the other hand, Thomas Lemar will be part of the expedition, despite being the only player absent from the morning training due to physical issues. New South Korean signing, Kan in Lee, is already in his home country and will join the team in Seoul.
