Sørloth sparks concern, but calms Atlético: «I’m fine» | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid remains very attentive during the international break, with the coaching staff on alert over the possibility of losing any player ahead of a crucial month. On Tuesday, Sørloth set off alarm bells after taking an elbow and having to leave the pitch bleeding due to a heavy blow to the head. The Norwegian was substituted and treated by the medical staff of the Norwegian national team.

After Norway’s match, Sørloth spoke to the media in his country and played down the concern. The Atlético striker said: «I’m fine. Fortunately, it wasn’t a concussion». A situation that brings peace of mind to Simeone and Atlético de Madrid, with a month ahead that includes the Copa final at stake and the Champions League quarter-finals.

He also joked about the blow he suffered and added: «I said yesterday that I had one ugly side (referring to his knock against Levante) and one pretty side, now I have two ugly ones», he concluded.
