Gio suffers a trans-syndesmotic fracture of the fibula

Terrible news for Atlético de Madrid Femenino. In addition to the defeat against Manchester United in the team’s return to the top European competition at home, they have suffered a long-term injury. Atlético de Madrid Femenino has announced that Gio has suffered a trans-syndesmotic fracture of the fibula. It’s a very serious injury for the Brazilian forward, who will undergo surgery in the coming days.

The injury occurred during the first half of the Champions League match, in which the Colchoneras lost by the narrowest of margins to Manchester United. The incident was reviewed by the referee on VAR, resulting in the deserved sending off of Janssen. Gio was taken off on a stretcher and the medical report confirms the trans-syndesmotic fracture of the fibula.
