Atletico Madrid confirm Godin injury

The defender will be out for an estimated two weeks after suffering a muscle injury against Barcelona, and will miss Sunday’s game with Celta Vigo

Atletico Madrid will be without Diego Godin as they look to get their season back on track against Celta Vigo on Sunday after the defender suffered an adductor injury.

Godin was substituted in the 49th minute of Tuesday’s absorbing 1-1 draw at Barcelona, which sent the Catalans through to the Copa del Rey final 3-2 on aggregate following a second leg that saw three players sent off.
