Diego Simeone provides double Atlético injury update before Real Madrid & Barcelona | OneFootball

Atlético Madrid head coach Diego Simeone has provided updates on the wellbeing of two leading members of his squad.

This comes after the Rojiblancos endured something of an afternoon to forget on Sunday.

Atléti of course marked their return to action a short time ago, making the trip to the Estadio Coliseum for a La Liga meeting with Getafe.

When all was said and done, the visitors were condemned to the wrong side of a 2-1 result, after conceding twice inside the game’s closing moments.

As alluded to above, though, their woes were not confined solely to the eventual outcome.

In addition, Atlético saw two important players pick up fitness concerns.

After Clément Lenglet was forced to pull out during the warm-up for the clash, Rodrigo De Paul then followed suit in limping out of proceedings with a muscular concern.

Ahead of upcoming fixtures against Real Madrid and Barcelona over the coming week, the subject of the wellbeing of both players was in turn put to Diego Simeone.

And the Argentine tactician went on to explain:

“Lenglet and De Paul? Both with different discomforts, we’ll see if they make it to Wednesday’s match, and if they don’t, they will be ready for Sunday’s game.”
