Terrible news. Atlético de Madrid already has its first casualty, beyond Giménez's. During Wednesday's training session, Álex Baena left with some discomfort and, according to Corazón Rojiblanco, the injury will keep him off the pitch until after the international break. A situation that the club will confirm in the coming hours. So, Cholo Simeone will have to reinvent himself and find a solution to the recent signing's absence.
Baena's injury will force Simeone to put another player in his position. The midfielder, according to this information, will miss Saturday's match against Elche, as well as the away match against Alavés at Mendizorroza. The goal is to return after the first international break, coinciding with the match that will pit Atlético against his former team, Villarreal. The reason for the absence, a muscle injury.
