Atlético Madrid Star Ruled Out of Bayern Munich Match

Atlético Madrid faces a blow in midfield for their next Champions League fixture. An important player will be absent from the squad.

This stems from their recent Champions League return against Stuttgart.

Diego Simeone's team drew their match on Tuesday evening in Germany. Julián Álvarez scored the equalizer early in the second half, helping Atléti recover after conceding first.

However, the draw came with a significant price.

Morten Hjulmand received a direct red card for a late, dangerous tackle in the midfield just past the hour mark.

The midfielder, who joined Atlético Madrid this summer, now faces a European ban. His suspension begins with the match against Bayern Munich at the Metropolitano in early December.
