​Atletico Madrid have been dealt an injury set back just before embarking upon a testing fortnight of matches which includes ties against rivals Real Madrid and a Champions League quarter final with Leicester City.





In a club statement issued by Atleti, via Four Four Two, Diego Simeone's men have been hit with three notable losses. Argentine winger Nicolas Gaitan is suffering with arthritis in his toe, while French striker Kevin Gameiro and Spanish keeper Miguel Angel Moya both have picked up thigh problems.

The time frame regarding the trio's respective injuries is yet to be concluded. However the injury hampered players will all undergo physiotherapy treatment.





The club statement revealed: "An MRI scan was carried out on Moya on Thursday after the injury he suffered in training last Wednesday,





"The medical results show that our goalkeeper has suffered a muscle injury in the femoral biceps of the left thigh. He will face physiotherapy and rehabilitation treatment.

"Argentine midfielder Nico Gaitan is suffering from arthritis in the metatarsophalangeal joint of the first toe of his left foot. As with Moya, he will undergo physiotherapy treatment and rehabilitation.





"Finally, Kevin Gameiro felt discomfort after the friendly match played in Paris between the national teams of France and Spain. Our striker has undergone an MRI scan that confirms that he is suffering from tendinitis in the adductor of his left thigh.





"He will also be put in the hands of our physios in order to return as soon as possible."

The injury woes leave Simeone scratching his head before his squad, who currently sit fourth in the league standings, begin a gruelling domestic schedule which consists of fixtures against Malaga and Real Sociedad in the run up to their derby day trip to the Bernabeu on April 8th.





Los Colchoneros begin their European proceedings against the Foxes on April 12 at the Vicente Calderon, before the return leg six days later.
