Mendoza went off against Osasuna with a muscle problem | OneFootball

Despite Lookman’s early goal, the first half was marked by the injury to Rodrigo Mendoza. The young midfielder, who had once again been given a chance in the starting lineup, could not even make it to the 20th minute. The Spaniard felt a muscular issue and went to the ground, having to be substituted because of it.

An injury to Rodrigo Mendoza that brought Le Normand on. The reason for his substitution was “muscle discomfort.” A situation that is still awaiting assessment by the club’s medical staff.

Yet another player added to the injury list

The injury to Rodrigo Mendoza is yet another in recent weeks, leaving Simeone severely short-handed. For the match against Osasuna, he already had a squad without Giménez, who will miss the rest of the season, just like Johnny Cardoso, who recently underwent ankle surgery. Also unavailable through injury are Nahuel Molina, Julián Alvarez, Giuliano, Nico, and Pablo Barrios.
