Oblak alarm: some inconveniences prevent him from playing for Slovenia

The FIFA break has Atlético worried and on Sunday afternoon another has arrived scare from Slovenia, after yesterday's Herrera and Savic. Oblak, who was going to start the game against Kosovo, had to be left out due to some discomfort during the warm-up. The alarms went off. Already in training yesterday, the footballer had felt pain in the shoulder that had been operated on for a long time and today he wanted to try himself, but he has finally stepped aside so as not to risk.

Despite the setback, the information coming from Slovenia is not entirely pessimistic. Oblak is undergoing tests and it is not ruled out that he may even play on Wednesday against Greece, also a Nations League match. These two intermediate days will be important to see how the pain evolves. That is, if the previous one is not suitable, it will be to worry.

Oblak underwent surgery in December 2016 for a left shoulder operation after injuring himself from a bad fall in a game against Villarreal. That joint has already caused discomfort on occasion, but it has not happened to adults. And since he returned from that intervention, he has been indispensable at Atlético and in his national team and has shone.

Grbic, waiting

Waiting for news will be Simeone and, in a very direct way, Ivo Grbic. The Croatian goalkeeper, who is also with his team – where there is a case of COVID -, he might get his chance if Oblak's pain doesn't subside. His debut with Atlético, in this case, would be against a rival of bells: Barça.
