Vojvoda downplays Barreal knock, midfielder doubtful vs Athletico-PR | OneFootball

During Santos' 2-1 victory over Noroeste this Sunday in the Campeonato Paulista, midfielder Barreal was substituted still in the first half. The Argentine complained of pain after a knock and made way for Rollheiser in the match. Coach Vojvoda says he believes it is nothing serious, but that the player was no longer able to continue playing.

“Barreal came off after a bone bruise, a knock. I think it’s nothing serious, but it prevented him from continuing. I looked quickly and saw that he couldn’t play. I trust that, starting tomorrow, he will have a good recovery. We’ll wait for the doctors’ information and see how he feels,” he said.

The collision happened at the 19th minute of the first half, when Barreal fell to the ground with hip pain. There was a suspicion of a muscle injury, but that possibility was ruled out.

Thus, Barreal becomes a doubt for the match against Athletico-PR in midweek, for the Campeonato Brasileiro.
