Jose Maria Gimenez
31-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
OUT
Injury Undisclosed
Est. Return 5/2/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gimenez was busy throughout the 2024/25 season, recording 115 clearances, 27 interceptions and 26 tackles across 27 appearances (20 starts). The Uruguayan international was a regular at center-back, but some rotation would be surprising if Clement Lenglet and Robin Le Normand are also fit. His upside is capped since the only area where he contributes reliably is defensive stats such as clearances, tackles and interceptions. That said, Atleti's defensive prowess and tendency to secure clean sheets could boost Gimenez's outlook, as usual.
Remains out
Gimenez (undisclosed) has been confirmed as the only player definitively ruled out of Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Real Sociedad, according to Atletico Universe.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez will now miss a fourth consecutive game without any clarity on the nature of his issue, and his absence from La Cartuja extends what has been a frustrating spell on the sidelines for the Uruguayan defender. His omission is primarily a depth concern given his limited role in the starting lineup in recent weeks, but with Atletico's defensive resources already stretched heading into the final, every available body counts for coach Diego Simeone's side.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to Saudi Arabia
Two teams in the Saudi Pro League are interested in signing Gimenez, according to Diego Paez de Roque of El Desmarque.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez is one of the most reliable defensive alternatives at Atletico Madrid, but it wouldn't be shocking if the defender changes teams in the summer. After all, Atletico are keen on signing Cristian Romero, and they already feature Clement Lenglet and Robin Le Normand on the current roster. If the contract is attractive, which is sure to be the case, expect Gimenez to consider his exit from the Wanda Metropolitano.
