After the match against Real Sociedad, Atlético de Madrid has received bad news in the form of an injury. Rodrigo Mendoza had to leave the match at halftime after suffering a hard blow to his right ankle during a challenge for the ball, setting off alarms among the coaching staff and the club’s medical team.

After medical tests carried out this Sunday, the medical report published by the club has confirmed that the rojiblanco midfielder is suffering from a moderate grade sprain in his right ankle. The player from Murcia will begin a recovery process based on physiotherapy sessions and rehabilitation work in the gym, while his return to competition will depend on the progress of the injury.
