Atlético is left without Lemar

Lemar has fallen and will miss the next two games. The Frenchman, who had to be replaced at the Camp Nou after suffering muscle discomfort, has undergone tests that confirm that he has “a myotendinous lesion in the left thigh”. It is pending evolution, but in principle it will not be against Real Sociedad (Wednesday) or Osasuna (Sunday) and he is already expected for Valladolid.

The French He has been dragging discomfort for some weeks. Recently missed matches against Betis, Eibar and Huesca for it and in the following he was limited. In fact, in the week before the Camp Nou he already worked with less load one day to arrive in condition to the appointment against Barça. However, at minute 12 he felt a puncture and quickly asked for the change, leaving his place to Saul.

Now, he is confident that he can be ready for the final day in two weeks. Simeone has the rest of the squad available, although he loses a footballer very inspired and fixed in the Cholo scheme. His absence opens the door of the eleven to the rest of the midfielders: Saul, his substitute in Barcelona, Kondogbia, brilliant in Elche and who has won the technician, and Herrera, notable in matches in which the team has dominated, they will compete for his position.
