Barrios has a muscle issue in his left thigh, awaiting tests | OneFootball

Despite Atlético de Madrid's victory at the Metropolitano, there is one piece of bad news for Simeone. The clash against Athletic ended with yet another injury for Atlético, this time to young Pablo Barrios. The Spanish international, while carrying the ball in one play, slipped slightly and lost possession. At that very moment he stopped, and alarm bells immediately started ringing. He could not continue, and both Simeone and his teammates realized it. He went down to the ground and was substituted.

Once he had been taken off injured and the match had ended, Atlético released an initial medical report on Pablo Barrios. It stated that the young Spaniard was substituted “after feeling muscle discomfort in his left thigh. Further tests pending.” Everything suggests that he will be unavailable, at the very least, for the first leg of the Champions League semifinal against Arsenal.
