MADRID, 31 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish-Brazilian Gabriel Paulista, brand new signing of Atlético de Madrid, entered this Wednesday in the call drawn up by Diego Pablo Simeone to receive Rayo Vallecano at the Cívitas Metropolitano, just one hour after announcing his arrival at the red and white entity, according to the club announced.
The red and white team reported this Monday of the arrival until the end of this season of Paulista, from Valencia CF, a club with which he reached an agreement for the termination of his contract after seven seasons as a Valencian player.
Thus, the defender, who started for Valencia against Atlético last Sunday (2-0) at the Metropolitano, will be available for 'Cholo' Simeone without doing any training with the group and could enjoy his first minutes as a colchonero , given the absences of the injured César Azpilicueta and Josema Giménez at the back.
Added to these casualties is the already known Frenchman Thomas Lemar and striker Álvaro Morata, who will rest against Rayo Vallecano due to some discomfort, with the intention of reappearing next Sunday in the derby against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu.
