Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak is expected to be sidelined until April after he dislocated his shoulder against Villarreal on Monday night.

Atletico Madrid have announced that goalkeeper Jan Oblak will undergo surgery on his dislocated shoulder.

Oblak suffered the injury during the first half of Atletico's 3-0 defeat to Villarreal, and the Slovenian international is now expected to be absent until April.

A club statement read: "Jan Oblak underwent radiology tests and an MRI which have confirmed that he is suffering from Bankart lesion in his left shoulder as a consequence of dislocation. He will have to undergo surgery in the coming days."

Oblak has established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper at Vicente Calderon, with the 23-year-old going on to make 95 appearances since signing for the club in 2014.

Experienced deputy Miguel Angel Moya will now come into the team in Oblak's absence.
