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.

Bench option Sunday

Gimenez is on the bench for Sunday's match against Cape Verde.

Analysis: Gimenez is back with his team as expected Sunday after he trained this week, with the defender fit for a bench role. He will hope to see time to test his legs after an absence from their opening match. He does hold enough quality to enter the starting XI in future matches, something to watch for once fully fit.
