Lyanco and Rony doubts for Atlético after win over Sport | OneFootball

Atlético’s 3-1 victory over Sport on Wednesday (8th), at Arena MRV, came with some worrying news. Defender Lyanco and forward Rony left the field with pain and have become doubts for the derby against Cruzeiro, which takes place next Wednesday (15th), in the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship.

According to a statement from the club’s press office, Lyanco felt severe pain in his Achilles tendon area and had to leave the pitch unable to put his foot on the ground. The defender’s situation caused immediate concern on the bench and among his teammates. Lyanco was substituted as early as the 18th minute of the first half.

Another player causing concern is Rony. The forward, who scored one of the goals in the black-and-white victory, felt pain in his right thigh adductor, but remained on the field until the referee’s final whistle.

Like Lyanco, he will be re-evaluated by the medical department this Thursday (9th). Further updates on the condition of both players are expected to be released after medical examinations.
