Last weekend's Madrid city derby for Atletico striker Angel Correa ended ambiguously.

Although the 28-year-old Argentine celebrated a 3-1 victory with his teammates, at the end of the match he "suffered" a dangerous tackle from opponent Jude Bellingham, for which the Englishman received a yellow card.

After the game, Atletico expressed frustration with the referee's leniency towards one of Real Madrid's leaders, stating that the referee should have shown a red card.

The seriousness of Correa's injury is evidenced by the latest test results: the player strained his knee ligaments and will have to rest from football for some time.
