The happiness of entering his infirmary and seeing it empty has lasted little for Atlético. There is already a new member: Héctor Herrera. The Mexican suffers “a thigh injury” after having finished last Wednesday’s training session with discomfort, as reported by the rojiblanco club in a medical report issued this morning. “The Mexican International will begin rehabilitation work and daily physiotherapy sessions and the evolution of his injury will mark his incorporation into the group”, specifies Atlético.
Herrera’s loss becomes fundamental. With just minutes throughout the season, with the signing of him already confirmed the next by the Houston Dynamo of the MLS, his return in the eleven against Osasuna was one of the reasons for the change of third: from a haggard Atlético to a winning Atlético, who now only knows how to count their league games by victoriesfive.
Koke and Correa, also low
Herrera brings criteria and order to the center of the field, Herrera gives Koke and De Paul flight in the middle. But neither the Mexican nor the captain will be available for Simeone tomorrow against Alavés, in the return of LaLiga after the international break. The first for this elongation in the thigh. The second, by sanction. Nor will Correa, also sanctioned.
