Beautiful is prepared in case Lodi can't play against Sevilla. The Madrid has trained these days in the initial eleven in the absence of the Brazilian side, who not Tuesday or Wednesday has exercised with the team. Lodi suffers a contracture and It is doubt to face Sevilla this Saturday (4:00 pm). In the coaching staff, nobody wants to take risks with the player, since Wednesday there is also a Champions League game and Simeone wants to have everyone available.
Lodi played the entire game on Sunday against Espanyol. The team rested on Monday and the Brazilian did not exercise Tuesday and Wednesday. He did alternative work. You don't want to force him so that the contracture doesn't go over. Simeone has been working with Hermoso, who has not started with Atlético since the day of Granada, on February 8. That day formed in the initial eleven. Throughout the year 2020 he has played two games of twelve. The mentioned one of Granada plus the cupbearer before the Cultural Leonesa.
We will have to see what happens in the next training with Lodi. For Simeone he is an important player. On other occasions, Cholo placed Saul on a left-handed side, although Thomas is not on penalty, Saul's contest in the center of the field against Sevilla is important for the Argentine coach. Saul is offering a good level in these last matches and, in addition, is clearly reaching the rival goal, so Simeone prefers to place Hermoso as a natural substitute for Lodi.
