antoine-griezmannBBC Sport understands that Atletico Madrid hotshot Antoine Griezmann could miss the all-important clash against Real Madrid this weekend.

The highly rated footballer picked up an injury while playing for France in the 2018 World Cup qualifier against Sweden, just several minutes before the final whistle.

The good news is that an X-ray showed there was no injury to the bone, but a haematoma on his left foot could prevent him from facing Real Madrid at the weekend.

Griezmann will miss the friendly fixture against Ivory Coast seeing that he has returned to Madrid, and he faces a race against time to be fit for the local derby, where Atletico are 2.50 (3/2) favourites to claim maximum points.

Los Colchoneros currently sit six points behind the league leaders and Saturday’s fixture will serve as a perfect opportunity to close the gap.

After bagging 6 goals in first 10 matches of the new campaign, Antoine Griezmann will be sorely missed in case he fails to recover in time.
