José María Giménez cleared to play for Deportivo against Atlético Madrid

José María Giménez is eligible to play for Deportivo in their upcoming match against Atlético Madrid this Saturday. Despite being on loan from Atlético, sources familiar with the contract indicate there are no clauses preventing his participation in the fixture.

Giménez, a key defensive leader for Deportivo, joined the club on a loan agreement through June 2027, which includes an option to purchase. The Uruguayan international has become a central figure in Deportivo's defense since his arrival, providing much-needed experience to a young squad.

The match marks a significant reunion for the defender, who spent 13 consecutive years at Atlético Madrid after moving from Danubio in 2013. He will face his former teammates at the Metropolitano stadium, a venue where he previously competed in La Liga, the Champions League, and the Europa League.
