César Azpilicueta, defender for Atlético de Madrid, has suffered a moderate grade muscle injury in his right leg.

The club confirmed this on their website on February 27, 2025. The Navarrese player's condition is "to be monitored," according to the official medical report. The exact downtime was not specified, which creates uncertainty within the red-and-white squad.

The 35-year-old veteran is a key piece for Diego Simeone. His versatility allows him to shine as a center-back or right-back. However, this season he has already had significant physical setbacks. In 2024, a meniscus tear kept him away from the pitch for several weeks.

The injury comes at a crucial time for Atlético, who are involved in several competitions.
