Brings energy in win
Simeone generated two tackles (zero won) in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Jordan.
Analysis: Simeone registered two tackles across his 71 minutes in Saturday's 3-1 win over Jordan, operating as the right-sided midfielder in Argentina's rotated lineup and providing direct running and pressing intensity before being replaced in the second half. The Atletico Madrid forward contributed to Argentina's sustained territorial dominance and gives coach Lionel Scaloni a useful energetic option heading into the Cape Verde round of 32 fixture.
Trains fully, back fit
Simeone (undisclosed) has trained with the group for a second consecutive day and is back in contention for Sunday's clash against Girona, according to Pedro Fullana of Cadena SER.
Analysis: Simeone had been ruled out of Tuesday's clash against Osasuna due to an undisclosed issue, but his return to collective training on back-to-back days is the clearest sign yet that he is ready to rejoin the squad for the final two fixtures of the season. The winger's availability for the Antoine Griezmann farewell occasion at the Metropolitano is a welcome boost for coach Diego Simeone heading into what promises to be an emotional afternoon for the club.
