Atlético de Madrid, they are keeping a close eye on the return of the league championship, when they must face Valencia at the Metropolitano. Right now, the squad is taking advantage of a few days of rest after having trained throughout the week of this September strike. However, there is negative news that continues to reach the capital of Spain, this time in the goalkeeping department.
Jan Oblak did not take part in the Slovenian match due to an indisposition, something he already suffered in the last match in Bilbao. Although it is not a muscle injury, everything points to the Slovenian being able to be a substitute again when he returns to the Colchoneros. In that situation, the great beneficiary would be Juan Musso , who left very good impressions in Athletic Club 's victory .
Jan Oblak in doubt against Valencia
It must be admitted that Atlético de Madrid is not having any luck in this international break, suffering from several problems. Firstly, Pablo Barrios has had to leave the Spanish national team training camp after suffering from muscle strain . Now, it is Jan Oblak who has left the negative note and that is that he is still suffering from a virus that is not allowing him to play.
The goalkeeper did not participate with Slovenia in the Nations League , setting off all the alarms at Atlético de Madrid. The Slovenian team's coach himself was the one who warned that the problem with the red-and-white goalkeeper was a virus . In that case, any type of physical problem that could cause a long-term absence is ruled out.
However, Jan Oblak 's presence for the next match against Valencia is in doubt, just as it was in Bilbao. It should be remembered that Simeone was forced to make a change in goal after the first-choice goalkeeper was unwell. However, there is no concern in the red-and-white team, as they have a lot of confidence in Juan Musso 's level.
Golden opportunity at the Metropolitano
The Argentine goalkeeper has made his debut earlier than expected with Atlético de Madrid in a very difficult match in Bilbao. Juan Musso left a very good impression on the San Mamés pitch, keeping a clean sheet in a very difficult stadium. Therefore, should Jan Oblak have any problems, the Argentina international is fully prepared to take advantage of his opportunity.
It should be remembered that after that match against Valencia, the new Champions League begins with a home game against Leipzig. In that match against the German team, Simeone wants to have his entire squad at 100%, ruling out risking any player. Therefore, and against a theoretically inferior opponent, everything points to the goalkeeping being subject to some changes .
