Torres was a second-half substitute in Saturday's match, which Barca dominated but ultimately lost, with Alexander Sorloth netting a last-gasp winner for Atleti, who moved three points clear of the Blaugrana at the top of LaLiga.
The Spain forward, however, suffered a calf problem, which Barca confirmed on Tuesday.
A club statement did not put a timeline on Torres' return, with Barca next in action in the Copa del Rey on January 4.
