By OnzeActu · · 4 min read
Atlético Madrid are facing a major absence: Cristian 'Cuti' Romero is out with an adductor injury and will miss at least two crucial matches. While the Madrilenians prepare their trip to Germany for the Champions League, the defense must reorganize without its leader.
According to Mundodeportivo.
Context
Atlético Madrid central defender Cristian 'Cuti' Romero has been a key part of the defense since his arrival. His adductor injury, which occurred during a match against Espanyol, deprived him of two important matches, thus testing the depth of the Madrid squad in La Liga and the Champions League.
Why it matters
The absence of Cristian 'Cuti' Romero is a major blow for Atlético Madrid, especially ahead of their crucial Champions League match against Stuttgart. As leader of the defense, his presence is essential for the strength of the team, which obtained only three points in the first two days. The situation is all the more worrying with other notable absences, which complicates Diego Simeone's task.
Key points
- Atlético de Madrid: Bad news for 'Cuti' Romero.
- Atlético Madrid face a major absence: Cristian 'Cuti' Romero is injured in his adductor and will miss at least two crucial matches.
- You know the time of the bottom of the 'Cuti' and there are no good notifications.
Atlético de Madrid are preparing for a delicate period. Heading into a series of crucial matches, Diego Simeone's club received some bad news: Cristian 'Cuti' Romero, pillar of Madrid's defense, will be out for around ten days. An adductor injury, suffered during the weekend's victory against Espanyol, was confirmed by medical examinations carried out this Sunday.
Romero, true conductor of the defense since his arrival, will not be able to participate in the crucial trip to Germany for the third day of the Champions League against Stuttgart. This hard blow comes as the Colchoneros have only collected three points out of six during the first two days, making the next match decisive for the rest of their European campaign.
The absence of the international defender will also be felt in the championship. Simeone will have to cope without Romero for the next La Liga match against Deportivo La Coruna this coming weekend. In the immediate future, the Argentine coach also has to deal with other absences: Johnny Cardoso had to stay in the gym following an illness and Koke Resurrección is also out due to a muscle injury.

This Sunday, the group trained during a differentiated session between starters and substitutes for the recently acquired victory, the sixth in a row for the Madrid club (including five in La Liga). Despite this dynamic, the absence of the defensive leader is worrying, especially since the solidity behind will be essential in the next rounds.
However, good news is looming if the recovery schedule is respected: Romero should be available for the 11th day of the championship, during the trip to Levante. He could thus find his place to face the shocks against Bayern Munich (in the Champions League) then against FC Barcelona in La Liga, two key meetings preceding the next international break.
Workforce management and tactical reorganization will therefore be more than ever at the heart of Simeone's strategy in the coming days. Supporters hope that the absence of the 'Cuti' will not impact the solidity of Atlético in what are already pivotal moments for the season.
