Optimism in Atlético with Giménez
Atlético de Madrid is optimistic about José María Giménez’s injury. The Uruguayan defender suffered muscle discomfort in the game against Barcelona, but it is not a serious injury.
Giménez could be available for Atlético’s upcoming matches, including the Copa del Rey match against Marbella on January 4 and the first league match against Osasuna on January 12.
Giménez has been a key player this season, playing 16 league games and five Champions League games, and accumulating a total of 1,698 minutes in official competition. Atlético goes on vacation with good news in the injury front, as Simeone had all players available for the match against Barcelona.
