The midfielder fell within minutes after a stamp and asked to be substituted. The final report is pending, but he left the field on his own feet.

The absence comes at the worst time for Simeone: the Madrid native was one of the best players on the team before the European match.

The start could not have been more unsettling for Atlético de Madrid. Marcos Llorente suffered a very early stamp in a divided ball with Mario Martín, and although he tried to continue, he ended up requesting the substitution. In the 14th minute, Antoine Griezmann entered to replace him, a move that shook up Diego Pablo Simeone's tactics just as the match was getting underway and with the big Champions League game against Inter on the horizon.

The Spanish international, one of the most energized players on the team, remained on the ground before heading towards the bench. The positive note, pending the exact extent of the injury, is that he left the field on his own feet to be evaluated by the team's medical staff. The coach and his staff are crossing their fingers: Llorente had been delivering high-level performances and his physical condition could be crucial in preparing for the European match.
