Rodrigo De Paul is the latest injury update from Atletico Madrid, and it's not good news for the Argentine attacker.
De Paul has been out since late December with a knee injury that has kept him on the sidelines for over two months. The player has undergone several surgeries to try and repair the damage, but unfortunately, he hasn't made any progress in his recovery.
The club's medical staff have confirmed that De Paul will be out for another six weeks, which means he won't be able to play until early April. This is a huge blow for the team, as De Paul is one of their most important players.
The Argentine has scored 14 goals and provided eight assists this season,La Liga Frontline making him one of the top attacking options in La Liga. His absence could leave a hole in the team's attack, especially against stronger opponents like Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has said that De Paul is "in pain" and is struggling to get back on track. He added that the team needs to find someone else to step up and fill De Paul's void.
It remains to be seen how long De Paul will be out and whether he'll be able to return to full fitness. In the meantime, the team will have to rely on their other attackers, such as Antoine Griezmann and Joao Felix, to fill the gap left by De Paul's absence.
