Marcos Llorente received a blow to his ankle in the match between Atletico Madrid and Real Valladolid. The Spain international came off the pitch and could be out of action against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey. The midfielder has some discomfort and will undergo tests.

Atletico Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente asked to be substituted in the 55th minute of Saturday's match against Valladolid due to "discomfort", according to the Spanish club.

As a result, the footballer is a doubt for next Thursday's derby against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

"I didn't ask him about the injury because I'm going to see him on Monday. We will have to wait and see how he is but he looks in good form. He creates a lot of chances. Let's hope it's nothing serious," coach Diego Simeone said.

Llorente will undergo tests and the doctors will determine whether or not he will be available against Real Madrid.
