Atlético without Barrios for trip to Real Sociedad after soleus injury | OneFootball

Atlético Madrid will be without Barrios for their visit to Real Sociedad after the midfielder suffered an injury. The club said in a statement that he will not be available for the game in Donostia.

Barrios has become Simeone’s undisputed midfield anchor, the on-pitch guide of Atlético’s turbulent start to the season.

He was forced off in Wednesday’s Champions League match with discomfort in his right leg.

Subsequent tests revealed a soleus problem, a low-grade myofascial injury in the right leg, with an expected absence of around one week or 10 days.

He will miss the match at Anoeta and will probably also sit out next week’s league fixtures against Osasuna and Real Madrid.
