体坛英语新闻：Atletico Madrid's Koke injured in Madrid Derby

MADRID, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- Atletico Madrid may be without key midfielder Koke for over a month after he suffered a torn hamstring in his side's 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid on Saturday.

"The player suffered a torn hamstring in the back part of his left leg," the defending Spanish champions said.

The 23-year-old Koke is set to miss the Champions League last-16 first-leg with Bayer Leverkusen this month and possibly the league clashes against Sevilla and Valencia.

The 4-0 victory pulled Atletico within four points of their capital neighbors, and level with Barcelona, who play their game in hand later on Sunday at Athletic Bilbao.
