Juan Musso sets off all the alarms: problems for Simeone and Atlético

The Argentine goalkeeper has been forced to leave the training camp with Argentina due to back problems.

Juan Musso has had to say goodbye to the Argentine national team during the international break in September due to physical problems. The Atlético de Madrid goalkeeper has left the "La Albiceleste" training camp due to pain in his lower back which makes it impossible for him to continue in these Qualifiers. For this reason, the red-and-white goalkeeper has already headed to Madrid to recover from his ailments as soon as possible and work under the orders of Simeone, who needs him.

Essential for Atlético

Despite having only been with Atlético de Madrid for a few weeks, the Argentine has already fully landed in the team's dynamic and has even made his debut in Bilbao . Precisely in that duel in SanMamés , Musso suffered a blow when he fell badly which has weighed him down until today, forcing him to leave the national squad. While waiting to undergo tests and see the extent of the injury, Musso will rest to try to be 100% as soon as possible.

The Argentine is part of Diego Pablo Simeone 's plans, who is delighted with his new goalkeeper and hopes to exploit his great qualities between the sticks of the red and white goal. The former Atalanta player is in love with the club and his new coach and plans to continue working to have a chance to shine at Atlético de Madrid . Knowing the fierce competition he faces in goal at the Metropolitano , Musso wants to recover from his back injury as soon as possible to take advantage of Oblak's temporary absence.

Oblak also with discomfort

The Slovenian goalkeeper is also going through a difficult situation, with a problem that has already kept him out of the game at San Mamés at the last minute. The Slovenian dropped out of the Atlético squad at the last minute, as well as the two games with his country during this international break, which he has used to recover. While waiting for both to return against Valencia , Jan Oblak and Juan Musso are already working on a quick recovery to be available for Simeone next weekend.

Duel of styles between the sticks

Atlético de Madrid 's goalkeeping is in good hands with two top-level goalkeepers like the ones the club has in this current 24/25 season. Simeone 's men have two reliable goalkeepers in the squad, as well as a huge squad in the reserve team managed by Fernando Torres with goalkeepers like Gomis and Iturbe . With the hope of being able to have their two starting goalkeepers available next Sunday against Rubén Baraja 's men, looking for three very important points.
