Marcos Llorente picks up muscle injury, fitness to be assessed | OneFootball

On Monday, November 24, Atlético de Madrid confirmed the muscle injury suffered by Marcos Llorente in his right thigh during the match played this Sunday against Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. The red-and-white midfielder was forced to leave the field just 14 minutes into the game after feeling discomfort that prevented him from continuing normally. After being attended to by the team's physiotherapists during the match, the player was substituted.

The examinations conducted this morning, Monday, confirmed the worst news for Marcos Llorente, who suffers a muscle injury in the thigh area, although the club has not specified the exact degree of the injury. As is usual with this type of injury, the recovery time will depend on its evolution in the coming days, so his return to the field remains open and conditioned on his response to treatment.

The number '14' of Atlético de Madrid will begin a specific recovery plan that includes physiotherapy sessions and readaptation work in the gym. The goal of the technical and medical staff is for Llorente to return with guarantees and without risk of relapse, especially in a decisive part of the season where the team faces important commitments in the League and Champions League.

The absence of the midfielder represents a significant setback for Diego Pablo Simeone, who loses one of his most versatile and influential players in the game, both in the midfield and in more advanced positions. Llorente had been a key piece in the plans of the Argentine coach, and his absence will force the red-and-white coach to readjust the lineup and seek alternatives while the Madrid player completes his recovery process.
