Atletico Madrid defender Cristian Romero doubtful for clash with Barcelona

Barcelona secured a 3-0 victory against Aston Villa at Spotify Camp Nou, bolstered by goals from Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. Ahead of their upcoming La Liga match against Atletico Madrid on Sunday, Barcelona may benefit from the potential absence of Cristian Romero. The Argentine defender missed Atletico's recent Champions League match against Bayern Munich due to a muscle problem and has struggled to regain fitness. His absence could weaken Atletico's defense against Barcelona's dynamic attacking lineup, while the team aims to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Bayern Munich.
