Atlético already has its first medical part of the preseason: Stefan Savic suffers a myofascial injury to the right quadriceps. The Montenegrin was one of the few first-team footballers training under Simeone, but he will have to be out for a few weeks.
Savic was probably the best central in LaLiga last season, indisputable for Simeone and causing only loss due to sanction (He participated in 41 games, 33 leagues). The Montenegrin is pending evolution a little less than a month after the start of LaLiga, where Atlético will kick off on August 15 against Celta in Balaídos. The rojiblanco team also has a drop in the center of the rear to Felipe, who during the Copa América suffered a partial tear in the external lateral ligament of his right knee.
The brazilian He is back and today he already exercised alone in Majadahonda with the same objective, to be able to participate in the first day of the League. Giménez still enjoys a few days of vacation after reaching the quarterfinals of the Copa América with Uruguay and Hermoso is the only center-back of the first team available under the command of Cholo. Atlético too could stay with Nehuén Pérez, cited with Argentina to play the Olympic Games.
At 21, he evolved in his assignment with Granada, but occupies a place of extracommunity and the rojiblanco club would already have the squares covered with their own Felipe, Lodi and Trippier, since from this course the British become part of the list. The rojiblanco club is working so that LaLiga repeats last season's formula, when players with a pre-Brexit contract did not occupy such a place. Simeone last season exploited the defense with three center-backs, which is why having five specialists in the squad position gains value.
