One of the details that is pampering with great care Cholo after the March lockdown is over it's the rotations issue. Tonight the second day of Champions, prior to the sixth day of the League and almost everyone has already played in the Atlético de Madrid. If all goes well, the next one that will have minutes will be Jose Maria Gimenez.
So far the Uruguayan central defender has not been able to help his teammates on the field after two setbacks that have left him out of the game. The first was a positive in Coronavirus That caused the start of the championship to be lost, a disease that he overcame just during the break due to the Selections' commitments. Well, after training normally, he suffered a muscle injury that prevented him from being in Vigo Y Munich with the rest of his companions. He recovered for the match against him Betis but Cholo decided not to enter the game.
Now in Champions League before a team like him RB Salzburg I could have a few minutes even in the second half to give rest to two of the players who add the most minutes at this start of the season as they are Savic Y Philip.
In the case of playing, there would only be two healthy footballers left in the squad without being released this season, as is the case with Ivo Grbic and Ivan Saponjic. The Croatian waits to have minutes in the Copa del Rey or when Oblak have a problem so if everything goes well its premiere is far from taking place. While Saponjic He is a footballer who does not have Cholo. Not even after the injury of Diego Costa you have many options of having minutes. Last season he debuted in Copa del Rey in January.
Fewer options to play still have Vrsaljko. The Croatian right-back again had discomfort from his left knee injury and had to undergo surgery again. He has not had time to rest Trippier at this start of the season. It is expected that the player can return for the month of December.
To this we must add that so far no player with a subsidiary card has played despite the fact that they are usually common in the calls. Ricard Y Camel are being fixed in the league, and then players like Sanabria they are having their place in the last lists. Some of them have more options than your own Saponjic to have minutes.
