Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone insists that he is not concerned by Antoine Griezmann's goal troubles in recent weeks.

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has insisted that he is not concerned by Antoine Griezmann's goal troubles.

Griezmann has not scored for Atletico since the end of September, and has only managed two goals in nine league appearances for the Madrid giants during the 2017-18 campaign.

Simeone was questioned on the 26-year-old's struggles after Saturday's 1-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna, and the Argentine insisted that the fact his team are unbeaten without Griezmann's goals is a positive.

"I see that we haven't lost in 11 League games, that we have 23 points, that Valencia only drew with us at home, that Barcelona only drew with us," AS quotes Simeone as saying.

"We're a competitive team. Griezmann is a great player on our team. I think about the positive things. If we have 23 points and Griezmann still hasn't scored, that's a good sign."

Atletico are currently fourth in La Liga after 11 matches of the 2017-18 campaign - level on points (23) with third-placed Real Madrid.
