🤕 Atleti confirm muscle injury for Pablo Barrios | OneFootball

Atleti confirmed this afternoon some bad news for Diego Pablo Simeone and all the rojiblanco fans. The young midfielder Pablo Barrios has suffered a low-grade muscle injury, as determined by tests carried out by the Madrid club’s medical staff after the discomfort the player felt during yesterday’s match in Seville.

The academy graduate, who has established himself as an important part of the team’s rotation this season, noticed the physical discomfort right after the last league match. Concerns about his condition were confirmed today with a diagnosis that will sideline him temporarily. Pablo Barrios’s injury represents a significant setback.

According to the official medical report issued by the club, the rojiblanco number ‘8’ has already begun his recovery process. This will involve intensive physiotherapy sessions and physical rehabilitation work in the gym facilities. His main goal is to return to the group dynamic as soon as possible.

The exact length of his absence is still uncertain. The club has specified that the evolution of this low-grade muscle injury will be the key factor in determining the date of his return to competition. Atleti is expected to be very cautious with his recovery to avoid any relapse.

This absence will force the coaching staff to readjust their plans for the upcoming matches, especially given the demanding schedule. The team will have to look for alternatives in midfield to make up for Pablo Barrios’s absence while he fully recovers.
