Atletico did not specify for how long the 32-year-old would be absent due to the knock, which forced him off the field during his side’s 2-0 win at Celta Vigo on Saturday.
The Brazil-born Spain international’s place alongside summer signing Luis Suarez in the Atletico attack is likely to be filled by Joao Felix for the match at the Alianz Arena.
