The Athletic has good news for the game against Granada. Mario Hermoso, who was isolated at home since last week by COVID, has tested negative in the last PCR, has rejoined the group and has also entered the call for Simeone. The coach could even put him in the eleven, because the other novelty on the list is that Giménez falls due to some inconvenience.
The central he tested positive on the 30th at the same time as Carrasco. The Belgian, however, was able to rejoin the group after ten days, and was even called up against Celta, but it took Hermoso a little more. The defender is a key piece for Cholo, who If you see him physically fit, it is very likely that he will be included in the eleven. At the press conference he confirmed that he will be summoned “to start or to enter the second part.”
So still Four other rojiblancos are out due to COVID: João Félix, Dembélé, Lemar and Herrera. In this order they were testing positive. The Portuguese, who tested positive on the 3rd, is expected next week, as is the French, who has not made his debut yet. For the last two, whose positive was known this Monday, we will have to wait even more. However, the estimated deadlines are not always met and players take longer to test negative …
The bad news is that Giménez did not train this Friday and stays out of the game in Los Cármenes. The Uruguayan did not finish Thursday's session due to some discomfort and is recovering to try to be in the following games. Before the casualties, Simeone pulls quarry to complete the call and takes Álvaro and Camello, central and forward of B, respectively.
