Atlético Madrid have offered clarity on the status of their first‑choice goalkeeper ahead of the crucial meeting with Barcelona, confirming that captain Jan Oblak will miss the fixture. The Slovenian was left out of the squad travelling to Catalonia as he continues to recover from an injury sustained on 14 March.

His absence represents a significant setback for Diego Simeone, particularly given Oblak’s history of standout performances in this exact fixture, having repeatedly frustrated Barcelona with a string of remarkable saves.

With their regular number one sidelined, responsibility between the posts will fall to Argentine goalkeeper Juan Musso. Tomorrow’s match will mark his fifth consecutive start for Los Colchoneros.
