The fight at the Metropolitano stadium between Atletico and Bayer Leverkusen ended with a happy ending for the Rojiblancos after a dramatic victory in the 90th minute. However, two days later, a few setbacks have come to light.

In addition to the fatigue of playing with 10 men for more than an hour, due to the sending off of Pablo Barrios, who will not be available for the visit to Salzburg, Cholo Simeone had another injury to deal with. Javi Galan did not train on Thursday and the Rojiblanco club announced that he suffers a moderate sprain in his ankle and will be out for an undetermined period of time.

Fortunately for the player, he was already going to miss the match against Villarreal this weekend, as he was suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards. The next game is against Salzburg next Wednesday, although there are still many doubts about his possible participation.

Another absentee was Sorloth, who is still recovering from his injuries, although various sources suggest that the Norwegian will be back soon, as he trained on his own on Wednesday and his recovery looks good.
