Simeone has had good news this Friday. After learning about Carrasco's injury, which Atlético-Chelsea will probably miss, it has been confirmed that Lemar has overcome the coronavirus. The Frenchman has tested negative, so he can rejoin the group, train and even play tomorrow against Levante.
Lemar and Herrera tested positive on Monday 8, hours before the game against him Celtic. Both have been lost, in addition to that appointment, the subsequent ones against Granada and Levante. The French, fixed until that day, is already back, a very positive situation especially considering that on Tuesday there is a Champions League game. El Cholo has ready the three media that he has trusted the most lately, Lemar, Koke and Llorente.
The turnaround that Lemar has given to his situation at Atlético has surprised everyone. From almost evicted to undisputed holder and, who would have said, its absence has been noticed. He will only do a training session before Levante's visit (Saturday, 4:15 pm), but if Simeone sees him physically well, he will give him minutes.
