New setback for Diego Simeone and Atlético de Madrid. Because as feared within the rojiblanco team, thomas lemar he was injured. The Frenchman had to leave the match on Sunday Elche on Martínez Valero in the early stages of the second half.
With a split ball, the midfielder noticed a discomfort in one leg. Coke He realized what was happening at that moment and went to the bench to make a change which was confirmed moments later. Angel Correa enter his place.
As they became suspicious in the locker room, the footballer was injured, as reported Brandalthough Atlético will not confirm this until this afternoon, when the team returns to training after a rest day to begin preparations for Sunday’s match against Osasuna in Metropolitan.
This was not the best game of the Frenchman, starting the fifth game in a row as a result of the injury of Marcos Llorente. El Cholo bet on the Frenchman again at this point of the season, but his performance, as almost always with Atlético, has been irregular in this series of matches, replacing some good performances with others of no importance.
With four games to go to end the season (Osasuna, Espanyol, Real Sociedad and Villarreal) It seems difficult for the midfielder to play again this season. In this way, Simeone has to find a replacement for the Frenchman, who has Pablo Barrios and Saul as the footballers with the most options to enter the eleven if Marcos Llorente cannot recover.
In recent appointments, the Argentine coach has given Barrios more minutes, but the experience of Saúl, who did not play with Martínez Valero, could play in his favor. Another alternative is to have Kodogbiamoved Koke to the inside position.
