Atlético de Madrid have been hit with concerning injury updates following their recent match against RC Celta de Vigo. Medical evaluations have confirmed that two key defenders—Uruguayan José María Giménez and Argentine Nahuel Molina—will be unavailable after both sustained physical issues during the game.
For Giménez, scans revealed a high-grade sprain in his right ankle, an injury suffered in action at the Metropolitano. The centre-back’s absence is a significant setback given his leadership at the heart of Diego Pablo Simeone’s defensive setup.
Meanwhile, Nahuel Molina is dealing with a muscle injury in his left thigh. The Argentine full-back ended the match showing clear discomfort, and subsequent tests have confirmed the severity, leaving Atlético’s right flank weakened for upcoming fixtures.
Both internationals have started their recovery protocols, with the club’s medical staff overseeing physiotherapy sessions and targeted rehabilitation work in the gym.
