“Our player Antoine Griezmann came out with muscle pain in his right thigh;

the medical services fear that it is about a relapse, wrote the club rojiblanco on Twitter.

The French international striker had already suffered an injury to the right thigh on December 12 during the derby of the Spanish capital lost 2-0 against Real Madrid, where he left the pitch at half-time.

He then tested positive for Covid-19 on December 30.

Only one game missed so far this season

Before that, the third most prolific scorer in the history of the Blues (30) had missed only one match this season with the Colchoneros, in Liverpool in the Champions League (2-0 defeat), due to 'a suspension.

If this injury to "Grizou" is confirmed, it will be a heavy loss for Diego Simeone, one week before the Spanish Supercup in Saudi Arabia (January 12-16), where the Colchoneros have to face Athletic Bilbao on January 13 in the semi-finals.

Renowned for his physical reliability, Griezmann had only missed four games in more than ten years of career before this season.
