Atlético Madrid will close the first part of the competition tomorrow with a cup match against modest Almazán. It cannot count on Yannick Ferreira Carrasco for that.
The Spanish team announced today that the Red Devils is struggling with a “contracture”, a local cramp in the muscle. An injury that is not classified as a serious, but rather a minor muscle injury. As a precaution, Carrasco will not be included in tomorrow’s selection.
And this eight days before the start of the World Cup. It is by no means ideal.
By the way, Carrasco is not the only one who has suffered an injury from the last game against Mallorca. Alvaro Morata also did not appear on the training field today.
The club has already announced that he is also struggling with a “slight muscle injury”. The Atletico deep striker is also the number 9 of the Spanish national team and plays a crucial role in Luis Enrique’s attacking line, who has had few direct replacements in his roster.
