Savic will be out for a month

Savic will be out for about a month. The Atlético central defender was injured in the league match against Mallorca, almost at the beginning of the clash, and had to be changed. Beautiful entered the field of play. Savic left with symptoms of considerable pain and today he underwent medical tests to determine the extent of his injury. The defender has a small fibrillar tear and will be out for a month. In this way the Montenegrin says goodbye to 2021.

The problem for the rojiblanco team is that now there are very demanding matches. Atlético have to play against Porto, Real Madrid, Seville and Granada before the break for Christmas. And he will start 2022 playing a new derby, this time against Rayo Vallecano. It would be the games that the rojiblanco defender, Atlético’s key piece in the achievement of the league title, could miss. Being before the Vallecano team is the objective of the Madrid club’s medical staff.

Savic has played thirteen LaLiga games and only one in the Champions League, against Milan, since it was sanctioned by four parties. In the league championship he had only missed the games against Real Sociedad and Levante. It is an important setback for Simeone, since Savic is a basic player for the Atlético coach.

For the Porto game, Cholo can recover Giménez, who did not play against Mallorca due to a contracture suffered against Cádiz. Felipe’s suspension and Savic’s injury leave Atlético with a serious problem for the match against Porto. If Giménez recovers, as it seems, he will form a center-back couple with Hermoso.
