He suffers a minor muscle injury and is a fundamental loss for Atlético ahead of Thursday’s game at the Bernabéu.
As everything suggested, Marcos Llorente will not take part in Thursday’s derby against Real Madrid as he suffers from a slight tear in the adductor muscles, as revealed by the medical tests he underwent this Monday at the Clínica de Navarra. For example, the mattress maker is ill for at least two weeks.
The Atletico midfielder, who felt mild discomfort in the groin area during last Saturday’s league match against Valladolid before immediately requesting a change, was confident his ailment would not get worse, but the diagnostic imaging test indicates the muscle is affected.
Such problems are already occurring at Llorente, who suffered several muscle injuries last year and, for example, missed eight games before the World Cup for the same reason. He is surprising in a player as physically powerful as him, although he is also very explosive.
A fundamental absence for Simeone, as he loses the most used outfield player since the break and an all-rounder who had recovered his best form in recent days, with a goal in the round of 16 cup tie at Ciutat de Valencia. And a stick behind the door for the man from Madrid, who cannot be measured at the club where he was trained and grew up, although they never trusted him and after his loan spell at Alavés he eventually signed with the eternal white rival.
