Adds seven crosses in win Hermoso kept a clean sheet and provided seven inaccurate crosses during Saturday's 1-0 win over Osasuna.

Impact Hermoso made his second start of the season at left-back but still managed to rank third on the team in total crosses during this game. Depending on the formation, Hermoso will either serve as a central defender or on the flank, though still expect him to make a greater impact in stopping goals than helping score them. Over the next week, AC Milan will visit for a UCL contest before Hermoso will make the trip to Cadiz, which have scored 12 goals in 14 matches this season.

Busy defensively Hermoso made five tackles and four interceptions during Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Hermoso had plenty to do Wednesday as Liverpool controlled the game from start-to-finish. While Hermoso has little to no fantasy value offensively he does have solid value, especially against aggressive teams. Next up for Hermoso is a Sunday trip to Valencia.

Strong volume in win Hermoso made two tackles and four interceptions during Sunday's 3-0 win over Betis.

Impact Hermoso didn't get anything done offensively, but that's not his role, he offered plenty of solid volume behind the ball. Few central defenders have any sort of fantasy floor and that is no different for Hermoso, but Atleti's excellent defense gives him frequent clean sheets. Hermoso will be hard-pressed Wednesday, away to Liverpool.

Records assist against Getafe Hermoso assisted a goal and made a clearance in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Getafe.

Impact Hermoso subbed into Tuesday's game in the 62nd minute and he set up the opening goal with his first La Liga assist in 11 months. He is likely to return to the starting lineup Saturday against Alaves if Simeone returns to the back three Atletico has used for most of the season.

Impact Hermoso led his side in tackles and interceptions to help them push for a late equalizer, but was part of the defense that conceded twice at home. He also received his first yellow card of the season before subbing off in the 80th minute. The centerback will now look to get the nod again at Espanyol on Sep 12.

Sent off in win Hermoso was sent off in the final moments of Sunday's 2-1 win over Celta Vigo.

Impact Hermoso is sure to miss the next match against Elche after getting shown a straight red card in stoppage time during the opening match of the season. While the defense is still shorthanded to start the season, it's possible that a formation with two center-backs will be used in his absence.

Messi gone but not forgotten as Barcelona wins league opener

Starting opener Hermoso (abdomen) is in the starting XI for Sunday's opener against Celta Vigo.

Impact Hermoso looks to be fine after going to the hospital a couple weeks ago because of abdomen issues. He's part of a back three to open the season Sunday, something Atletico used about half the time last season.

AUGUST 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

In hospital for precautions Hermoso remains in a German hospital due to abdominal pain while his teammates returned to Madrid from a friendly with Wolfsburg, according to Isaac Suarez of MARCA.

Impact Hermoso is being monitored for any potential issue, and the fact that he's been held back doesn't foretell good news coming any time soon. There's still a couple weeks before the season opens against Celta Vigo on Aug 15, and Hermoso's versatility mean that Felipe and Renan Lodi can help fill for his potential absence from the side.
