The club have confirmed that the defender picked up an injury against PSV in midweek, and he is now poised to miss the weekend's vital match
Stefan Savic appears likely to miss Atletico Madrid 's derby clash with Real this weekend due to a calf injury.
The defender played the full 90 minutes for Diego Simeone's side in Wednesday's 0-0 Champions League draw with PSV at the Philips Stadion.
But a statement on Atletico's website on Thursday confirmed the Montenegro international picked up a grade II calf injury, leaving him in doubt for Saturday's clash at the Santiago Bernabeu.
"On the morning of February 25 [Savic] attended the Fremap Majadahonda Clinic for tests, which together with the medical examination indicates a grade II medial gastrocnemius injury to his right leg," the statement read.
Savic is set to start physiotherapy and Atletico will hope for a speedy recovery with four crucial La Liga games to come before the return leg of their last-16 tie with PSV on March 15.
