Atletico Madrid centre-back José María Gimenez He will not be in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals that his team plays against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. The Uruguayan, weighed down in recent seasons by injuries, finished the last league game against Alavés with muscular discomfort; which is why he has not traveled with the rest of the red and white expedition to the northwest of England.

The Uruguayan defender was, until the moment of the injury, in a great state of form: he had been a key man in the resurgence of the athletic defense, as well as being transcendental in the classification of his team for the World Cup in Qatar. This setback forces Simeone to break the trinomial formed by the charrúa, Savic and Reinildo.

His place in eleven could be taken by Handsome O Felipealthough the performance of both defenders in this course is far from the optimal level that Diego Pablo Simeone requires for the red and white defense.

The squad for the vital first leg in Manchester is made up of: Lecomte, Oblak, Christian, Lodi, Savic, Wass, Felipe, Hermoso, Reinildo, Vrsaljko, Ibra, Kondogbia, De Paul, Koke, Lemar, Llorente, Serrano, Joao Félix , Luis Suarez, Griezmann, Correa and Cunha.
