Diego Godin was forced off at half-time of Atletico Madrid's LaLiga clash with Getafe due to a thigh problem, the club have confirmed.
The experienced centre-back was replaced by Juanfran with his side leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Antoine Griezmann and Saul Niguez.
Atletico later released a statement, saying: "Diego Godin did not complete the derby against Getafe and had to be substituted at the break as a precaution due to muscular problems in his thigh."
The news will be of some concern to head coach Diego Simeone, with Atleti facing a daunting fixture list in the coming weeks.
