Saúl Ñíguez will be the owner, yes Diego Simeone does not change his mind, in the
Eibar-Atlético de Madrid which takes place this Thursday in Ipurua starting at 9:30 p.m.. The midfielder will be in charge of covering the loss of Koke, essential for the Cholo, and that is sanctioned by accumulation of warnings.
A golden opportunity for the Elche, who in the last game, scored the goal that closed the match against him Seville, which helped him gain confidence after some very difficult months. Saúl came to publicly acknowledge that he was not having a good time mentally, and the goal was good for him to continue with that recovery of recent weeks.
And before him Eibar, will return to the starting eleven a month and a half later. Why Saul was in the eleven in the Copa del Rey matches against Cardassar and Cornellà, where Cholo pulled the less common players, but in the Champions League he has not started since December 9. And in the League, four days before, on December 5, in the clash against Valladolid.
Since then, has been a substitute in the last six league games, entering the field, yes, after the break. This Thursday, he will start against Eibar, in what is a golden opportunity for the canterano to vindicate himself and demonstrate Simeone that should have more prominence in this Atlético de Madrid.
