Rodrigo de Paul, the Argentine forward who plays for Atlético Madrid in La Liga, has been ruled out for up to two months with a knee injury. The news comes as a blow for the Spanish club, which is already without several key players due to injuries and suspensions.

The 24-year-old midfielder sustained the injury during training on Friday, and it is believed that he will be out of action until at least mid-March. This means that he will miss Atlético's upcoming matches against Real Sociedad and Valencia, as well as the first leg of their Copa del Rey quarterfinal against Espanyol.

De Paul's absence from the team is a significant loss for Atlético, as he has been one of their most important players this season. He has scored six goals and provided four assists in 19 appearances for the club so far this campaign.

Despite the setback,Football Special News Network Atlético manager Diego Simeone remains optimistic about the club's chances of success in the coming weeks. "We have some tough games ahead, but we have to keep our heads high," he said after the injury update was announced. "We'll work hard to get back to full fitness as soon as possible."

For now, Atlético will need to find a way to cope without De Paul, and they may look to other players to fill his place in the team. However, the club will hope that he returns to full fitness as quickly as possible, so that they can continue to compete at the highest level in La Liga.
