Scores goal before hamstring issue
Baena (hamstring) scored one goal before being forced off in the 62nd minute of Tuesday's 3-1 defeat against Atletico due to hamstring discomfort, he said to the media, according to Mundo Deportivo. "I've felt a little discomfort, we'll see how it is tomorrow."
ANALYSIS
Baena will have to be assessed on Wednesday after being forced off around the hour mark in Tuesday's loss against Barcelona after feeling discomfort in his hamstring. The playmaker scored his second goal of the season in La Liga against the Blaugranas and attempted nine shots in his last five games across all competitions, highlighting his rising impact in the frontline of Atletico and the blow it would be to miss him in upcoming fixtures. If Baena had to miss some time, coach Diego Simeone could either play Thiago Almada as number 10 or revert to his natural 4-4-2 to introduce Alexander Sorloth in the frontline.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top target for Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid are keen on signing Baena this summer, according to Diario AS.
ANALYSIS
Baena has been one of the most prolific and consistent wingers in LaLiga over the last two seasons. Atletico Madrid could use an upgrade on the left side of their midfield to move Conor Gallagher to a more central role, so both parties could start negotiations as soon as the 2024/25 Liga season ends.
