Atletico Madrid suffered a reducing defeat to get the weekend because they saw a lead of one goal in the four -minute room at the end of the game evaporate. It was certainly not the Diego Simeone platform on the way to a potentially decisive week before their season, but the costs could go beyond the points and the atmosphere.
The moment that the comeback caused Getafe was a carefree red card for Angel Correa, who also had to deal with a long -term ban in Spain after the event. Simeone and Atletico, however, also sweat on two of their most important starters, Rodrigo de Paul and Clement Lenglet for the Champions League bone on Wednesday evening in the round of 16 against Real Madrid.
“They have different pains. We will see if they can play for Wednesday's game. And if not, they play for Sunday's game, “Simeone told Sport after the Getafe collision. Beyond the Madrid Derby in midweek, Los Rojiblancos is confronted with a blockbuster Liga match-up with Barcelona in the Metropolitano on Sunday evening.
The Paul came across Getafe during the break because of muscle discomfort, while Lenglet was stabbing in global warming, with Robin Le Normand replacing him in the line-up. The Argentin has only missed three games throughout the season and became the director of the orchestra for Simeone in the middle of the field, as evidenced by a strong version in the first stage against Real Madrid.

In the meantime, Lenglet has gradually earned a place in the backline of Atletico, signing Le Normand, which also came to this summer this summer. His calming presence on the back next to Jose Maria Gimenez was a large part of their best defense in La Liga this season. Although Le Normand has a lot of quality, he has shown inconsistency this season, as proven at the end of the Getafe defeat.
Marca says that both are still starting on Wednesday – the Paul has had a knock that caused him to be weak, and the hope is that they will both recover on time after tests revealed that none of them has an injury in itself. Lenglet would probably be replaced again by Le Normand if he did not, and Simeone would have a choice to make who would be Barrios in midfield partner if the Paul is not fit, with Marcos Llorente and Conor Gallagher in the frame.
