Grimaldo worries: tests this Wednesday after suffering discomfort in the quadriceps

Atlético de Madrid

Concern at Atletico Madrid over Alejandro Grimaldo's physical condition. The Spanish full-back was set to take part in the Nations League match against Croatia, but discomfort that appeared during the warm-up changed Luis de la Fuente's plans.

The player felt a problem in the quadriceps while making a gesture during the exercises before the game, so the medical staff decided not to take any risks.

After the match, the Spain coach provided more details about his situation and confirmed that Grimaldo will be put through medical tests this Wednesday to determine the exact extent of the discomfort.

"Tomorrow we are going to do some tests. He felt discomfort in his quadriceps during a gesture. We'll see tomorrow what it really is. It won't be much, but maybe enough for him to miss these two matches," explained Luis de la Fuente.

In this way, the first impressions within the Spain camp do not point to a serious injury, although we will have to wait for the results of the tests to know the final diagnosis and the possible recovery timelines.

Atletico, pending the result

The situation is also being followed closely from the Atletico de Madrid, where Grimaldo has become an important piece since his arrival this summer from Bayer Leverkusen.

The main question will be whether it is only a case of a minor overload or a small muscle injury, or whether the tests detect some damage that would force the player to stop for longer.

For fantasy managers, for the time being we recommend caution. It doesn't seem like a major injury based on De la Fuente's words, but Grimaldo is still pending tests and his availability for the next matches will depend on the final diagnosis.

At Comuniate, we'll be on the lookout for any update to the medical report and for the Selection's decision on whether he will continue in the camp.
