Atlético de Madrid Giménez out for up to three weeks

José María Giménez has sustained a grade-two strain to the hamstring of his right leg, which will sideline him for between two and three weeks. The Uruguayan youngster is therefore a serious doubt for Atlético Madrid's Champions League quarter-final first-leg match against Barcelona at the Camp Nou.

With Stefan Savic and Diego Godín also out, that makes three of Atlético's four centre-backs who will spend the international break in the treatment room in Madrid, with the 'Rojiblancos' medical team desperately trying to nurse them back to fitness.

Fourth-choice centre-back Lucas Hernández, the youngest of the bunch, is currently the only Atleti first-team player in his position who has escaped the clutches of injury. Everyone at the club will be crossing their fingers that he returns safe and sound from international duty with the France under-20s.
