Joins Deportivo on loan
Gimenez has joined Deportivo La Coruna on loan from Atletico Madrid through June 2027, with the deal including an option to buy.
Analysis: Gimenez brings considerable top-level experience to Deportivo after spending the vast majority of his career with Atletico Madrid. The 31-year-old center-back has made 270 La Liga appearances and another 69 in the Champions League, while also earning 99 caps for Uruguay. A two-time La Liga champion and Europa League winner, Gimenez should immediately contend for a starting role in central defense.
Trains with potential starters
Gimenez trained with the projected starters ahead of Friday's game against Spain, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Analysis: Gimenez was on the bench against Cape Verde but wasn't fit enough to play after suffering a minor setback. However, the defender has been training in the last few days and even made the projected starting lineup in Wednesday's session. The Atletico Madrid center-back looks fit enough to start if manager Marcelo Bielsa decides it.
