The Croatian has established a reputation as one of the best keepers in the Croatian top-flight, with Lokomotiva finishing second in the 2019-20 campaign, before joining Atleti this summer on a four-year deal.
Grbic made his debut for Los Rojiblancos during the midweek Copa del Rey victory over non-senior club Cardassa, but is now set for a spell on the sidelines.
