If deemed fit enough to play, he will hope to see the start after starting in the club's past two games, although they may integrate him back into the side off the bench, being cautious and giving him time off the bench to ensure he is healthy for the final three games of the season.

Regular starter on defense Hermoso has started all three matches for Atletico Madrid in the 2023/24 LaLiga season, racking up 13 clearances, eight tackles, four interceptions, three crosses, two shots and tw...

Impact Hermoso joins a list of Atletico Madrid players who have started all three league matches, including Antoine Griezmann, Stefan Savic, Rodrigo De Paul and Jan Oblak, as well as Yannick Carrasco, but the latter already left the club.

JUNE 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to miss season finale Hermoso is not expected to play in Sunday's clash against Villarreal due to the imminent birth of his child, Marca reports Friday.

Impact Hermoso had an interesting campaign as he started 21 consecutive league games from mid-January through last weekend, finishing with three goals, two assists and eight clean sheets across 25 La Liga appearances (23 starts) overall this season, plus another goal in the Champions League. Atletico's uptick in form in 2023 coincided with his run in the XI, but it's still not entirely certain the 27-year-old will be a regular in central defense next season with Stefan Savic, Jose Maria Gimenez (knee) and Reinildo (knee) returning to the mix.
