Atletico’s Griezmann is absent due to a thigh injury

Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann suffered a thigh injury during training on Friday, the club announced, without specifying how long he would be sidelined.

The 34-year-old underwent a scan which revealed a “low-grade muscle injury” in his left thigh. It is likely that he will at least be ruled out of Sunday’s match at home to Mallorca in La Liga.

Griezmann came off the bench in the second half of Wednesday’s 1-1 draw against Galatasaray in the Champions League.

Atletico did not give a date for his return and said it would continue to monitor the injury.

Griezmann has scored ten goals in thirty games in all competitions this season for Atletico, who are fourth in La Liga and eight points behind leaders Barcelona.
