Jose Maria Gimenez
30-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 12/9/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gimenez was busy throughout the 2024/25 season, recording 115 clearances, 27 interceptions and 26 tackles across 27 appearances (20 starts). The Uruguayan international was a regular at center-back, but some rotation would be surprising if Clement Lenglet and Robin Le Normand are also fit. His upside is capped since the only area where he contributes reliably is defensive stats such as clearances, tackles and interceptions. That said, Atleti's defensive prowess and tendency to secure clean sheets could boost Gimenez's outlook, as usual.
Could be set for sidelines
Gimenez (hamstring) could be set for the sidelines after being spotted saying to a teammate that he could have teared his hamstring during Tuesday's 3-1 defeat against Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo. "I think I tore something."
ANALYSIS
Gimenez played the full game in Tuesdays 3-1 defeat against Barcelona, contributing one tackle, two interceptions and five clearances but could be set to miss a few games due to a hamstring injury. The center-back was spotted saying to Johnny Cardoso at the end of the game that he may have teared his hamstring, making him a doubt for upcoming fixtures for the Colchoneros. If he had to miss some time, Marc Pubill could see increased playing time in the backline.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to Saudi Arabia
Two teams in the Saudi Pro League are interested in signing Gimenez, according to Diego Paez de Roque of El Desmarque.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez is one of the most reliable defensive alternatives at Atletico Madrid, but it wouldn't be shocking if the defender changes teams in the summer. After all, Atletico are keen on signing Cristian Romero, and they already feature Clement Lenglet and Robin Le Normand on the current roster. If the contract is attractive, which is sure to be the case, expect Gimenez to consider his exit from the Wanda Metropolitano.
