Thomas Lemar - Page 3 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Comes up limping Lemar was brought off limping after 40 minutes of Tuesday's clash with Rayo Vallecano due to muscular discomfort.

Impact Lemar came up after a sprint holding his leg and trying to play through the issue. It appeared to be more serious than a cramp as he was unable to continue and had to be replaced by Yannick Carrasco. Lemar missed a run of three matches earlier in the campaign with a similar muscular problem, so a non-contact injury could prove to be a serious concern for Lemar. He will be a heavy doubt for Sunday's trip to Betis, with Saul or Yannick Carrasco options to start pending Lemar's status.

Sends in three crosses in draw Lemar took one off-target shot, created one chance, sent in three inaccurate crosses and made one tackle (won) in Wednesday's 0-0 draw to Club Brugge.

Impact Lemar had a quiet outing before subbing off in the 60th minute, but could not do much during their disappointing home draw. The midfielder started for the fourth time in seven appearances in the season. He has yet to play the full 90 minutes so far, though.

In squad list Lemar (strain) made the squad list for Tuesday's trip to Club Brugge.

Impact Lemar has missed each of the last three matches, including Saturday's win over Sevilla, before making the team for Tuesday's trip to Belgium. With starts in three of his five appearances, Lemar is capable of logging good minutes but a lineup with Koke, Marcos Llorente and Axel Witsel in midfield is probably the best one at Atleti's disposal when everyone is fit.

Participates in training Lemar (strain) participated in Friday's training session, according to Patricia Cazon of AS.

Impact Lemar missed two matches before the international break and only just returned to training so starting over the weekend could be difficult even if he's available. The improving fitness on the back line has pushed Axel Witsel into midfield, which won't leave as much room for Lemar to play.

Still recovering from injury Lemar remains absent from training as of Tuesday while he recovers from a muscular injury, according to Javi Gomez of Cadena Cope.

Impact Lemar seems unlikely to return in time for Saturday's trip to Sevilla after missing two straight matches before the international break. While he's played less, Koke, Rodrigo De Paul and Marcos Llorente have helped to fill out the midfield.

Out for Madrid derby Lemar (strain) is not in Atletico's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Real Madrid.

Impact Lemar missed Tuesday's UCL win defeat to Leverkusen with a muscular injury and he's out once again for the derby against Real Madrid. His next opportunity to return will be against Sevilla in October after the international break.

Returns to training Lemar has returned to training without issue as of Wednesday's session, according to El Desmarque.

Impact Lemar hadn't been as fortunate Tuesday but didn't take long to return to the side. There are still two more friendlies to be played before the season begins Aug. 15 at Getafe so Lemar has time to get up to full speed. He scored four goals and logged five assists last season despite only starting in 17 league games. These are solid numbers for a player who isn't likely to be in the lineup without missing some matches due to injury or rotation.

Not training fully Lemar trained separately from his teammates during Tuesday's session, according to Sergio Moraleda of AS.

Impact Lemar has a couple of weeks to overcome a preseason strain if he's to open the season without issues during the Aug. 15 clash against Getafe. After starting in 17 of his 24 league appearances last season, Lemar will need to prove himself even more in order to play with Rodrigo De Paul, Nahuel Molina and Axel Witsel also competing for places in midfield.

Comes off bench in season finale Lemar played the final five minutes or so of last weekend's victory against Real Sociedad.

Out for season finale Lemar (hamstring) is not in Atletico's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Real Sociedad.

Impact Lemar upped his attacking threat this season, with four goals and five assists setting a new personal record for him in La Liga. But despite 23 league appearances (17 starts), he still doesn't seem like a locked-on starter when he's fit, though he also suffered through multiple injuries this campaign.

Sidelined against Granada Lemar (hamstring) will be unavailable for Wednesday's clash with Granda.

Impact Lemar has started two straight contests before suffering his hamstring problem and will now have to watch from the sidelines. Even once cleared to play, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI. Still, when he does feature, Lemar's ability to generate crosses and push the attack makes him a top-half fantasy target.

Comes off injured against Espanyol Lemar was subbed out at halftime of Sunday's 2-1 victory against Espanyol after suffering a muscular injury. He took a shot in the match before being taken off.

Impact Lemar is undergoing tests to determine the extent of his injury and will be questionable for Wednesday's clash against Granada. He was replaced by Rodrigo De Paul in midfield on Sunday.

Takes three shots against Mallorca Lemar subbed into Saturday's match against Mallorca at halftime and he took three shots and created a chance in the 1-0 defeat.

Impact Lemar injected some urgency into his side's attack when he was introduced on Saturday, but it wasn't enough to earn a result. He has started just one of Atletico's last 10 games in all competitions, so he will likely be back on the bench against Man City in the Champions League on Tuesday, though he could still have a cameo role to play in the match

Starting Saturday Lemar is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match with Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Lemar returns after missing the previous few matches with an undisclosed injury. The midfielder takes up a role in the center of the pitch for Atleti's La Liga clash with Alaves.
