On Monday, José María Giménez underwent an MRI in Majadahonda’s Fremap Clinic that confirmed the initial examination of the medical staff and other tests performed on the Uruguayan centre-back. The medical report of the defender points out that "he suffers a grade II muscle injury in his right biceps femoris."

The Uruguayan felt discomfort during the second half of the match against Sporting. Giménez will start his recovery process to be available for Diego Pablo Simeone as soon as possible, undergoing physical therapy sessions and work in the gym. He is pending evolution.
