Athletico Madrid Rocked by Koke Injury

Koke picked up a hamstring injury against Eibar on
Saturday, putting a dampener on Atletico Madrid's 2-0
win at Ipurua.

Atletico Madrid have announced Koke suffered a hamstring
injury against Eibar on Saturday after the
midfielder underwent an MRI scan.

The Spain international was forced off with the problem in the
61st minute and replaced by Argentinian youngster Angel
Correa, with Atletico being held by their hosts at the time.

Correa made a swift impact, scoring a fine goal a minute later as
Atletico went on to win 2-0 – Fernando Torres adding the
second 13 minutes from time.

But Koke's injury left a sour taste for coach Diego Simeone, who
will almost certainly be without the midfielder for Tuesday's
contest at home to Getafe and at Villarreal on Saturday.

The club are yet to reveal how long they expect Koke to be out
for.
