Atletico Madrid midfield star suffers injury
Atletico Madrid have taken a hit when the Mexican international Hector Herrera set to be sidelined for a month due to injury.
The Mexican international was removed at half time in Los Rojiblancos 2-0 loss at arch-rivals Real Madrid with Diego Simeone later saying he was struggling with a knock.
Herrera
, who will now miss at least four weeks with a thigh strain, has begun to follow Simeone’s plans this season, after moving in on a free transfer in 2019, with seven league plays in 2020/21.
However, reportedly, Simeone has got positive news on the future returns of Diego Costa and Jose Gimenez.
Costa has returned to light training this week, and should play again before the end of 2020, with Uruguayan international Gimenez getting close to come back.
Neither player will be included in the matchday to challenge Elche next weekend, but they may return for the crunch match with league leaders Real Sociedad on December 22.
