The Uruguayan and Argentine stars could be out of their team’s crunch clash against Carlo Ancelotti’s Bundesliga giants after suffering physical problems at the weekend
Atletico Madrid are likely to face Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday without Jose Gimenez and Augusto Fernandez as both players were injured against Deportivo La Coruna in LaLiga on Sunday.
Augusto suffered a knee injury just 16 minutes in, with Gabi replacing him, but Gimenez also had to be withdrawn before half-time.
Atléticos, big thanks for your supporting messages for @augusto12f and @JoseMaGimenez13! You’re the best! #AtletiDepor

Atletico confirmed Augusto had damaged ligaments in his right knee and will need a scan to reveal the extent of his injury.
Gimenez, meanwhile, has injured his right thigh, although the club gave no indication about potential recovery times for the two players.
