“Antoine Griezmann suffers a moderate ankle sprain,” according to the report offered by the red-and-white club’s medical services.
The French striker had to leave the field of play in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Inter Milan after suffering a sprain to his right ankle when he clashed with full-back Carlos Augusto in a dispute over a ball.
This injury rules out the French attacker for the EA Sports 2023-2024 LaLiga match this Saturday, at 9:00 p.m., between UD Almería, domestic bottom team, and Atlético de Madrid.
Therefore, the red and white ‘7’, who “remains pending evolution”, would work to return next Thursday in San Mamés, to play the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals against Athletic Club, a duel in which they start for behind after 0-1 at the Metropolitano.
