Atletico Madrid has suffered a major blow to its squad with the news that their star forward, Antoine Griezmann, will be out for up to six weeks with a knee injury. The Frenchman was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match against Real Sociedad and is now expected to undergo surgery later this month.
In addition to Griezmann's injury, Atletico Madrid have also been hit by a number of other setbacks. Their leading scorer, Joao Felix, has suffered a serious knee injury which could see him out for several months. This leaves Atletico Madrid without one of their key players and could make it difficult for them to challenge for the La Liga title this season.
Despite these setbacks, Atletico Madrid remain a strong team and they will be hoping to bounce back from this setback quickly. They have already secured a place in the UEFA Champions League next season and will be looking to build on that success in the coming years.
It remains to be seen how long Felix and Griezmann will be out for but both injuries are likely to put a damper on Atletico Madrid's campaign. However, they will be determined to fight back and come back stronger than ever.
