Atletico Madrid says doctors have ruled out a serious injury to Antoine Griezmann's left foot, potentially allowing the France forward to play in the derby against Real Madrid on Saturday. Griezmann hurt the foot in France's World Cup qualifier against Sweden on Friday, but tests conducted Sunday discarded any bone injuries that could have sidelined him for a long time. Sergio Ramos, who had been nursing a knee injury, and Luka Modric, who underwent knee surgery in September, should be available for Real Madrid.
