Jose Maria Gimenez Injury: Not training with team

Gimenez (strain) suffered a muscular injury during the Club World Cup and was still training individually on Friday in his rehabilitation process, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Gimenez hasn't yet resumed team training after suffering a muscular injury during the Club World Cup in late June. The defender was spotted training individually on Friday as part of the rehabilitation process for the injury. Gimenez will remain a big doubt for the opening game of the season against Espanyol next Sunday. That said, the Uruguayan seems to be the third choice in the center-back hierarchy and therefore his potential absence will not impact much the starting XI.
