Simeone Announces Oblak's Absence in the Small Derby
Argentinian coach Diego Simeone of Atlético Madrid announced that goalkeeper Jan Oblak will be absent from the match against host Getafe tomorrow, Sunday, in the thirteenth round of the Spanish league.
The Slovenian goalkeeper suffered an injury while playing for his national team in the World Cup qualifying matches and has not recovered in time, as Simeone had hoped. Therefore, he will not be present in the Madrid derby.
The Rojiblancos are aiming to win this match in order to put pressure on the trio of Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Villarreal, hoping for their slip-ups to advance further in the La Liga standings.
