Atletico confirm Mario Hermoso is suffering from a muscle injury in his left thigh, according to the tests the defender has undergone. 

He will begin physiotherapy sessions, will undergo rehabilitation training and is pending evolution.

The 28-year-old was in excellent form in midweek, but Atletico Madrid confirmed that he has a thigh muscle injury just a day before their clash with Barcelona, likely ruling him out of the game on Sunday. It is not yet clear how long he will be missing, but Hermoso will at least have the international break to recover before Atletico are back in action on the first of April away to Villarreal.
