Juanfranas: Griezmann told me he will appear in the Madrid derby

Madrine Atletico defender Juanfran revealed that his teammate Antoine Griezmann will escape to the dressing room before this Saturday's Madrid derby against Real.

The forward's participation in this match was hanging by a thread after he got injured in a clash with the Swedes in the French national team.

However, at least according to Juanfran, the leader of the "mattresses" will have time to recover before the important match.

"This morning I asked Griezmann if he will play in the derby, and he told me, yes, he will play in it," the Spaniard told Partidazo COPE.

The upcoming match will be important not only in terms of the La Liga table, but also symbolically.

The team will play their last match against each other at the Vicente Calderon stadium in the Spanish championship, as Atletico will move to new homes next season.
