Antoine Griezmann was forced off in the second half against Inter Milan.
Atletico Madrid were disappointed to lose 1-0 to Inter Milan in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie on Tuesday, although they still have a chance of progressing to the quarter-finals , given that the second leg will take place at the Civitas Metropolitano, where they had not lost for 13 months until two weeks ago.
What might be more worrying than the defeat is that Atleti lost two players to injury during the 90 minutes at San Siro. José Maria Gimenez had to be replaced at half-time, while Antoine Griezmann was forced off in the second half, which is even more worrying.
Rest for Griezmann?
According to Diario AS, Gimenez suffered discomfort in the first half and the decision was made not to take any risks. Griezmann meanwhile suffered a sprained ankle, which Simeone commented on by saying he hoped there was no cause for concern.
It remains to be seen whether Gimenez or Griezmann will be forced to miss the trip to Almeria this weekend. Simeone may choose to rest them, as Atlético Madrid face Athletic Club in the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg a few days later.
