🚑 More injury woes for Atleti: Giménez and Molina, K.O. | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid have received bad news after their recent clash against RC Celta de Vigo.

The club’s medical staff have confirmed the absences of two key defensive players: Uruguayan José María Giménez and Argentine Nahuel Molina, who both finished the match with physical issues of varying severity.

In Giménez’s case, medical tests have revealed a high-grade sprain in his right ankle. The injury, sustained during play at the Metropolitano, is a setback for the Uruguayan centre-back, whose leadership in the heart of the defence is crucial to Diego Pablo Simeone’s system.

Meanwhile, Nahuel Molina is suffering from a muscle injury in his left thigh. The Argentine full-back, who ended the match showing clear signs of discomfort, underwent the relevant diagnostic tests, which confirmed the extent of the issue and leave Atlético’s right flank weakened for the upcoming fixtures.

Both internationals have already begun their respective recovery processes. The medical department has reported that they will undergo physiotherapy sessions and specific rehabilitation work in the gym.
