Lucas Hernandez is the latest to fall injured at Atletico Madrid LaLiga Santander Yet another casualty

Injuries have been cruel to Atletico Madrid this season and Lucas Hernandez has joined the growing list of those on the treatment tables, falling victim to a muscle tear to his adductor that will see him out for a few weeks.

The defender finished the 90 minutes against Borussia Dortmund, but gestured to suggest that something was wrong as he left the pitch.

It is just the latest frustration for Diego Simeone's side, who are left light in defence.

While awaiting medical tests, it's unknown how long Lucas will be out of action for, but his loss is considerable taking into account the other injuries they have suffered at the back this season, from Diego Godin and Stefan Savic to Jose Maria Gimenez - who went off at half-time against Dortmund - and now Lucas.
