Joao Felix and Jose Maria Gimenez, the two footballers of the Atlético de Madrid who finished the Copa del Rey match in Cornellà, will be available to receive this Saturday at Athletic in the Metropolitano from 4.15pm, in a meeting that is in the air pending the storm Filomena.
The two players trained yesterday with their teammates in the gym, as the snow prevented the work from taking place on the pitch, but Simeone He confirmed at a press conference that he was counting on them for the commitment against the Basque team.
“They were with the teammates, surely they will be summoned and as a result of what we see at noon we will see,” said the Argentine coach.
Of course, it remains to be seen that they are headlines and even that they participate in the meeting. Everything will depend on the evolution that they present in the next few hours and if these discomforts do not go away. In any case, they will enter the call and on the same Saturday the Cholo, who did not test anything in the session, will decide.
In this way, Hector Herrera will be the only loss due to injury that the mattress coach has, who recovers Trippier, after he joined training with the group this week after receiving confirmation from FIFA that the ten-week penalty imposed by the FA for revealing privileged information about his signing for Atlético de Madrid was being suspended provisionally in the summer of 2019.
