Rodrigo De Paul will not play in Real Madrid vs. Atlético de Madrid due to injury.

The Argentine midfielder of Atlético de Madrid, Rodrigo de Paul, suffers a muscle injury in his left leg, which means he will miss the league derby against Real Madrid on Saturday.

De Paul "suffers a muscle injury in his left thigh," Atlético confirmed this Wednesday in a statement, after the player underwent medical tests.
