"We have spoken about Koke quite a few times,"
"We continue to add words of gratitude to his work, dedication and commitment to the club."
"He still gives us important things for the good of the team, and I don't want to assess if any player can achieve [700 appearances] because it would be imagining."
"Oblak is not going to participate [on Sunday]," he added. "Giuliano is going to be called up, and we will see how his recovery, which has been very good, continues. We will decide [on Sunday] if he starts or waits."
Diego Simeone paid tribute to Koke's work, dedication and commitment as the midfielder approaches his 700th appearance for Atletico Madrid. Koke, 33, has played 11 LaLiga matches this season and is a two-time LaLiga winner. Simeone emphasized ongoing gratitude and acknowledged Koke’s continued importance to the team. Jan Oblak will miss the trip to Getafe after suffering an injury with Slovenia, while son Giuliano has recovered well and could be called up and potentially start. Atletico seek a fifth straight league win against eighth-placed Getafe, who have won two of their last three matches and beat Atletico 2-1 at the Coliseum last season.
