Yannick Carrasco, Atlético de Madrid winger, suffers a "post-traumatic injury to the musculature of his left leg", which will result in a loss against Levante at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium, for which Diego Simeone already has

Thomas Lemar

at his command

, after overcoming the Covid-19, and "possibly can" have

Moussa Dembélé

.

"Yannick has a blow that had been dragging from the game with Granada, he has already played like that with Levante, that is why he left the minute he left, seeking to protect him a little, but the blow continues and we will see how it evolves in the coming days ", explained Simeone asked if he will be available against Chelsea.

The resonance and the ultrasound to which the Belgian international was subjected at the University of Navarra Clinic detected this ailment, of which the club does not report the recovery period and explains that the footballer "remains pending evolution", with serious doubt whether he will be able to play the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against the English team, once there are only four days left for that clash.

Carrasco is the undisputed starter in

Diego Simeone's

scheme

this season, in which he has played 21 games, fifteen of them as a starter and has scored three goals.

Today he is a fixed man in the Argentine coach's line-ups, especially as a left-winger, where he has settled in the rojiblanco team.

While losing Carrasco, Simeone recovers Lemar, who rejoined the team this Friday after a negative result in a PCR, is already authorized by LaLiga to return to group dynamics and complies with the protocols to return to competition this Saturday, if the Argentine coach considers it appropriate.

Waiting for Herrera

Lemar, also fixed in the coach's line-ups in recent months, has missed the rojiblanco's three most recent games, against Celta, Granada and Levante, with two draws and a win without him.

"The good news is that Lemar is with us and also waiting for Dembélé, who may possibly be there tomorrow, and continue looking for people in search of having the players available as quickly as possible," explained the coach about the attacker, who must have negative PCR or positive PCR with positive serology in IgG antibodies to resume the competition, according to the LaLiga protocol updated last January.

With the recovery of Lemar, Moussa Dembélé and midfielder

Héctor Herrera

are the only two players in the squad still pending to resolve the Covid-19 to return to competition.
