# Atlético Madrid: Latest Injury Updates on Koke
Atlético Madrid midfielder Koke has been dealt a significant blow after picking up an injury during the team's recent training session. The 31-year-old Spanish international, who has been a cornerstone of the squad for over a decade, was forced to withdraw from practice after complaining of discomfort in his knee.
Initial medical assessments revealed that Koke suffered a medial ligament sprain, an injury that could sideline him for several weeks. While the club has not yet provided an exact timeline for his return, sources close to the team suggest that he could be out of action for at least four to six weeks. This diagnosis has sparked concerns among fans and the coaching staff, as Koke’s absence will undoubtedly leave a gaping hole in the midfield.
Koke, known for his tenacity, work rate, and ability to control the tempo of the game, has been instrumental in Atlético Madrid's recent performances. His injury comes at a critical juncture in the season, with the team competing on multiple fronts, including La Liga and the Champions League. Manager Diego Simeone will now have to rely on other midfield options, such as Rodri and Thomas Lemar, to fill the void left by Koke’s absence.
While the injury is not season-ending, it remains a significant setback for both the player and the club. Atlético Madrid’s medical team will work closely with Koke to ensure a swift and full recovery, but for now, fans will have to wait patiently for the return of one of their most beloved players.
