Atletico Madrid Had to leave session early

Atletico Madrid's afternoon training session got off to a bad start on Monday as right-back Sime Vrsaljko left the workout with knee discomfort.

Immediately after feeling the pain, the Croatian signalled to backroom member Oscar Pitillas and he was taken for tests with club doctor Jose Maria Villalon.

The injury occurred on the same knee that Vrsaljko suffered sprained ligaments in during the spring, ruling him out for the final two months of the season.

Another fitness concern, Nico Gaitan, worked with recovery expert Pitillas on the sidelines of the group session for an hour at San Rafael.
