Atlético de Madrid announced on Thursday afternoon the extent of Javi Galán's injury.
The full-back was injured during the Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen, although the injury is less severe than expected.
The player is suffering from a moderate ankle sprain and has already begun physiotherapy and rehabilitation treatment.

His recovery is still pending, but he could miss at least a month of competition.
With Galán's absence, it opens the door for Reinildo to take the starting position or for Simeone to return to a three-man defense.
