Atletico Madrid have made it 12 straight wins in all competitions, with their latest coming 2-1 over Barcelona last weekend. That result did not come without sacrifice, as Jose Maria Gimenez's injury problems flared up at the Estadi Olimpic.
Gimenez suffered a muscle injury in the second half, for which he had to be substituted. A serious problem was ruled out, although his availability for Atleti's first La Liga match of 2025, which is against Osasuna on January 12, was in doubt.
According to MD, Gimenez has been training over the winter break to ensure he is fit and available for that match at the Metropolitano.
Atletico Madrid will be happy to have Gimenez available against Osasuna. He will almost certainly miss the Copa del Rey match against Malaga next weekend, but they should be able to manage without him at La Rosaleda – especially as it will give Robin Le Normand more crucial minutes.
