MARIO HERMOSO NEWS

Busy defensively against Betis Hermoso created one chance, made four tackles (three won), five clearances and two interceptions and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Sunday's 1-0 win over Betis.

Impact Hermoso put up a very well-rounded performance at the heart of the defense, filling the stat sheet and being one of the biggest reasons why goalkeeper Jan Oblak had so little work to do throughout this match. Over the last three matches, the center-back put up 12 clearances and five interceptions with Atletico shutting the opposition down in each of them.

Impact Hermoso finished his league suspension during Saturday's win over Sevilla and had returned to training as well, clearing the way for him to be fit ahead of a trip to Belgium. He's started twice in five appearances this season and scored two goals, which is impressive in the context of an evolving defensive lineup. With Stefan Savic and Jose Maria Gimenez back, Hermoso is likely to start less but should still get a few looks during a busy schedule before the World Cup.

Back in training Hermoso (ankle) was able to train without issue during Wednesday's session, according to El Desmarque.

Impact Hermoso had picked up an ankle injury while playing as a forward during a preseason match but has now overcome that issue. There are still a couple of friendlies to play before the season begins Aug. 15 at Getafe and if fit Hermoso should be a part of the rotation among the central-defenders but it's less likely he's a lock to start.

On bench in season finale Hermoso was an unused substitute in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad.

Impact Hermoso ends the campaign with two goals (one of them an acrobatic bicycle kick to defeat Getafe in the 89th minute on Feb. 12), one assist and five clean sheets in 26 La Liga appearances (21 starts), but only three of his league starts came after the start of February as winter signing Reinildo replaced him as a hybrid center back/left back in the lineup. The 26-year-old will fight to earn his spot back next season.

Option for second leg Hermoso (groin) is in the traveling squad for Tuesday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Hermoso (groin) had missed the last couple weeks with a minor groin issue, but he's an option again heading into Tuesday's second leg. That said, he's moved to a bench role of late and probably won't be asked to start unless Jose Maria Gimenez isn't well enough after leaving the last league match with a minor muscle issue.

Out again Friday Hermoso (groin) was left out of the match-day squad versus Cadiz on Friday.

Impact Hermoso was an unused substitute for two straight contests before being completely ruled out due to his groin issue. Still, before that, the defender started 25 of his 29 appearances for the club, including featuring in all six Champions League contests, so he should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI once given the all-clear.

Scores winner against Valencia Hermoso scored one goal from three shots (one on goal) and conceded a yellow card during Saturday's 3-2 win over Valencia.

Impact Hermoso went the distance in a tough match and managed to tap home the winner in the 93rd minute of the contest. With clean sheets in short supply for an uncharacteristically average Atleti defense, games like this are helpful in building value for defenders like Hermoso. Up next is a match against Barcelona.
