Atlético de Madrid have been training all week in Majadahonda thinking about the next league match against Valencia. The red-and-white team wants to avoid another setback like the one they suffered in that same stadium against Espanyol, conceding a draw. Right now, their next opponent is going through a bad moment in the sporting and non-sporting aspect, adding another piece of bad news.
One of Rubén Baraja 's undisputed starters will not be playing against the Colchoneros after suffering a muscle injury. This is Hugo Duro , who has become a true specialist when it comes to scoring goals in the goal defended by Jan Oblak . The Spanish striker will be out for several weeks and will not be able to lead Valencia 's attack at a very difficult time.
Jan Oblak will not be facing his greatest threat
The red-and-white team completed their last training session of the week this morning, thinking about the next match against Valencia. The colchoneros will arrive at that match after getting three very important points in their visit to Athletic Club . In addition, it is important to bear in mind that their next opponent is not going through a very difficult moment in all aspects.
In terms of sport, the team managed by Rubén Baraja is in the relegation zone after not having achieved a single victory. Added to this situation is another piece of bad news, as Hugo Duro will not be playing against Atlético de Madrid due to a muscle injury. The Spanish striker is a specialist in scoring goals against the red and whites, having scored five goals in six matches.
In fact, he was the star of the Valencian rout at Mestalla , scoring a double against Jan Oblak. His absence is terrible news for Valencia , as he is one of the regular starters in the attacking zone. On the other hand, the controversy generated after the arrest of Rafa Mir has caused another earthquake that is very difficult to digest at Mestalla .
Juan Musso is waiting for his chance
Before the international break, the Argentine goalkeeper had the opportunity to shine in Bilbao under the watchful eye of Simeone. He left a very good impression in the red-and-white goal, making some very worthy saves against the Basque team. Bearing in mind that the Champions League starts on the 19th, rotations in the starting eleven cannot be ruled out.
Jan Oblak could start on the bench with the match against Leipzig in mind and give Juan Musso another chance. The former Atalanta player has shown that he has the level to defend the three posts for Atlético de Madrid . Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that this will be a season where the Slovenian will have more rest than usual.
