Cuello back from fracture, could boost Atlético-MG against Palmeiras | OneFootball

Atlético-MG announced this Monday the return of Tomás Cuello to training with the rest of the squad. He was recovering from a fibula fracture associated with torn ligaments in his left ankle and has been cleared by the club’s medical department.

The forward has been sidelined for Galo since September 17, when the team drew 2-2 with Bolívar in the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana. On that occasion, Cuello was substituted in the first half after his foot got stuck in the turf and he twisted his ankle.

Thus, the Argentine may be a reinforcement for coach Jorge Sampaoli in this final stretch of the season, in which Atlético-MG still faces Palmeiras this Wednesday, and Vasco on Sunday.

Standings Situation

In 13th place with 45 points, Galo needs to earn points to finally eliminate the risk of relegation. The team is also aiming to reach eighth place to try for a spot in the Pre-Libertadores if the G8 opens up.
