September 15th Assas reported that Atletico Madrid's first victory in the season was costly, and many players were injured and became suspicious of Liverpool's battle.

In the match against Villarreal, Atletico Madrid finally ushered in its first victory of the season, but a player left the court with injuries, casting a shadow on the next game against Liverpool.

Although this victory was a timely rain for Atletico Madrid, it also made coach Simeone worried. During the game, many players asked for substitutions one after another, and Alvarez was replaced during the break; followed by Gonzalez, Lenorman and eventually Hanzko. Among them, Hanzko was in the worst condition. He was forced to leave the court shortly after he came on the bench due to a violent collision and limped away from the court.

There are only three days before the game against Liverpool, and Atletico Madrid is now paying great attention to the recovery of these players. Judging from the current situation, it will be difficult for the two injured players to catch up with the game, but training at 6:30 pm tomorrow will be the decisive moment, and their injury progress will be evaluated at that time.

For Hanzko, he was sent to the court in the second half, but suffered a heavy blow from Murillo four minutes later and had to leave the court early. Although he himself expressed his willingness to continue the game, his ankle sprain was worrying. According to Atletico, Hanzko's injury needs further observation.

As for Alvarez, as the team's star striker, he suffered a minor strain on his knee in an overturn, and there is also a risk of missing a match against Liverpool.

In contrast, Lenormann's situation is more optimistic. He was hit in his back after a bad fall but looked to be in a better shape after the game.

Gonzalez was replaced because of his lack of energy. In this way, in addition to Baena, Almada and Gimenes who have been confirmed to be absent, Simeone also needs to face the dilemma that Hanzko and Alvarez may not be able to play. Although this is an important game, due to the long season and the special time, there is no need to take the risk of a forced comeback.
