Nico Gonzalez - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Option in Copa del Rey Gonzalez (thigh) is an option for Tuesday's Copa del Rey clash against Barcelona, the club posted.

Impact Gonzalez returned to full team training last week and is back in the mix for Tuesday's Copa del Rey showdown against Barcelona, signaling he has fully moved past his thigh injury. It is a significant lift for Atletico as they regain a midfielder who opened the season as a steady presence in the rotation, though his minutes could be capped with the recent arrival of Ademola Lookman, who has already made a strong impression on coach Diego Simeone.

Back in team training Gonzalez (thigh) was spotted back in team training Friday, according to Pedro Fullana from Cadena SER.

Impact Gonzalez looks to be closing in on a return from his thigh injury after getting back on the training field with the group Friday. That is a major boost for the Colchoneros as it opens the door for the attacking midfielder to rejoin the mix in the upcoming fixtures, though Saturday's clash against Oviedo could come a bit too soon. That said, with the recent arrival of Ademola Lookman and his strong run of form, Gonzalez could be staring at a significant dip in minutes during the second half of the campaign.

Picks up muscle injury Gonzalez is out for the time being after suffering a muscle injury in his thigh, according to his club.

Impact Gonzalez is hitting the sidelines this week after he suffered an injury Sunday, with the attacker dealt a thigh injury. That said, he is likely to miss a week or two due to recovery, although this is uncertain. With 15 starts in 18 appearances this season, his absence would force a change, with Thiago Almada and new addition Ademola Lookman as possible replacements.

Available off bench Thursday Gonzalez (undisclosed) is on the bench for Thursday's Copa del Rey match against FC Barcelona.

Impact Gonzalez returned to training earlier this week, and the coaching staff has deemed him healthy enough to be an option off the bench here. Gonzalez should alternate between the XI and the bench if he stays healthy moving forward.

Back in training Gonzalez (undisclosed) was spotted training with the team on Wednesday, according to Diario AS.

Impact Gonzalez trained with the team Wednesday and could be available for Thursday's Copa del Rey clash against Barcelona. However, with increased competition at his position and the recent arrival of Ademola Lookman, his role and potential minutes remain uncertain.

Likely to miss Sunday Gonzalez (undisclosed) is dealing with muscle fatigue and likely to miss Sunday's clash against Betis, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Gonzalez has been managing muscle fatigue and was absent from Saturday's final training session. The forward is expected to sit out Sunday's clash against Betis as a precaution, and with Ademola Lookman recently arriving and pushing for a starting role, his likely absence should not significantly alter the starting lineup.

Solid effort Gonzalez had four shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Levante.

Impact Gonzalez had a solid performance despite no goals being scored, making two shots on target with two key passes and winning a tackle. This was his first league start since Dec 13, starting and coming off the bench once since his return from injury.

On bench against Galatasaray Gonzalez (thigh) is on the bench for Wednesday's clash against Galatasaray.

Impact Gonzalez is back on the bench for Wednesday's game against Galatasaray after missing the last two La Liga matches with a thigh injury. The Argentine is a regular starter when healthy, so he should push for a return to the starting XI soon, though the club could be cautious and ease him back in off the bench as he regains match fitness.

Option for Wednesday Gonzalez (thigh) is an option for Wednesday's match against Galatasaray, according to Isaac Suarez of Marca.

Impact Gonzalez has been training for around a week, and after a boost of fitness ahead of Wednesday's match, he has been added to the squad list. This is positive as the club regains some options, with the Argentine typically a starter when fit. They may be cautious and ease him in off the bench, starting in 16 of his 20 appearances between UCL and league play, although he only has one goal to his name.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training Gonzalez (thigh) is back in training and could be available for Sunday's game against Alaves, according to Javier Gomara of Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Gonzalez has an outside chance of being part of the squad for the match against Alaves on Sunday, though that will be decided based on his progression throughout the next two days. Gonzalez hasn't played since Dec. 21, but he's missed just one league match in that span -- the 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad on Jan. 4.

Suffers thigh injury Gonzalez suffered a thigh injury in Sunday's 3-0 win against Girona and is out for the time being, the club announced.

Impact Gonzalez was forced off early in Sunday's victory against the Catalans due to an injury that revealed to be a muscular injury to his thigh after Monday's scans. The attacking midfielder is out for the time being and will hope that the next two weeks of break will be enough for him to recover. That said, if he had to miss some time, Alex Baena (hamstring) is expected to get a larger role in the frontline if fit to play for the Colchoneros.

This will be something to watch for the club, as he has started in 16 of his 20 appearances this campaign, although he only has one goal thus far. The good news is the club has around a two-week break with no match, hopefully recovering from his injuries during this time.

Takes two shots in draw Gonzalez had two shots (one on target), created one chance, sent in four crosses (one accurate) and drew three fouls during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Mallorca.

Impact Gonzalez still didn't put up gaudy numbers but was definitely better if we compare his performance with the one he put up during UCL opener. The attacker was one of his team's few serious threats here and definitely brought considerable hope for those who relied on him for fantasy purposes. However, there's still some untapped upside for Gonzalez, who isn't that far from his Fiorentina days where he was one of Serie A's most reliable picks.
