Antoine Griezmann suffers left thigh injury in Atlético de Madrid training | OneFootball

Antoine Griezmann has sustained a slight muscle lesion in his left thigh during Atlético de Madrid training on Friday, and could be sidelined for a few days. According to L'Équipe, the forward picked up the issue in the session under Diego Simeone.

Griezmann has reached 10 goals in 30 appearances this season for the Colchoneros. Used frequently as a supersub by Simeone, the 34-year-old former France international has 137 caps and 44 goals.

The setback comes days after Atlético’s 1-1 draw in Türkiye against Galatasaray. Simeone’s side are fourth, locked in a podium chase with Villarreal.

Atlético host Mallorca on Sunday at 14:00. On Wednesday they welcome Bodö/Glimt for the eighth matchday of the Champions League at 21:00. Victory could lift them into the top eight, securing direct passage to the last 16.

They currently sit 12th on 13 points. Griezmann should miss at least the next two matches.
