Atletico Madrid coach Simeone frustrated with Griezmann injury after Copa win

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone admitted some frustration after their Copa del Rey win at Rayo Majadahonda.

Atletico were comfortable 5-0 winners, though Antoine Griezmann suffered an injury during the tie.

He said, "The doctors will inform better than me.

"He is a very important player for us, it is a shame that he has been injured again. We hope he does not have much time (away)."

Simeone continued: "I liked the intensity with which the team came out from the first minute.

"Playing in this way has helped us to be in the next round of the competition where we will meet great rivals as we have seen during these days."
