Diego Godin was forced off at
half-time of Atletico Madrid's LaLiga clash with Getafe due to a thigh problem,
the club have confirmed.
The
experienced centre-back was replaced by Juanfran with his side leading 2-0
thanks to goals from Antoine Griezmann and Saul Niguez.
Atletico
later released a statement, saying: "Diego Godin did not complete the
derby against Getafe and had to be substituted at the break as a precaution due
to muscular problems in his thigh."
The news
will be of some concern to head coach Diego Simeone, with Atleti facing a
daunting fixture list in the coming weeks.
They
travel to Real Betis next weekend before hosting Real Madrid and then taking on
another local rival in Rayo Vallecano.
Atleti
welcome Juventus in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie at the
Wanda Metropolitano on February 20.
