Midfielder Raúl García will sit out Club Atlético de Madrid's UEFA Champions League Group D curtain-raiser against APOEL FC after breaking a toe in his right foot.
Three weeks
The 23-year-old former CA Osasuna player was carried off on a stretcher after 56 minutes of Atlético's 3-0 opening-day loss at Málaga CF in the Spanish Liga yesterday. Tests indicated a fracture and it is estimated he will be out of action for a minimum of three weeks. Abel Resino's side, who beat Panathinaikos FC in the UEFA Champions League play-offs to qualify for the group stage for a second successive season, host APOEL on 15 September. Atlético will also face Chelsea FC and FC Porto in Group D.
