Resumes training
Koke (hamstring) was working on the grass during training Friday, according to his club.
Analysis: Koke has been out for three matches with a hamstring injury and is now working towards his return, as the midfielder was back on grass this week. That said, he was not pictured working with the team, only individually. He has started in four of his eight appearances this season, a solid veteran rotational option once fit again.
Suffers left hamstring injury
Koke (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's La Liga clash against Espanyol after medical tests confirmed an injury to the biceps femoris muscle in his left thigh, according to the club.
Analysis: Koke faces another spell on the sidelines after recently missing Atletico Madrid's Champions League encounter against Manchester United due to personal reasons. The captain had resumed individual training following a family bereavement but is now dealing with a confirmed muscular injury that will delay his return to competitive action. His recovery will determine when he can rejoin team training, leaving Atletico short of an experienced option in central midfield. Morten Hjulmand and Pablo Barrios remain leading candidates to feature in his absence, while Marcos Llorente could also provide cover centrally.
