Nico González injured for Atlético, Argentina on alert 🇦🇷 | OneFootball

The forward from Colchonero suffered a muscle injury in the thigh: he will be out for at least three weeks. Scaloni will keep an eye on his recovery.

Nico González, winger for Atlético de Madrid, suffered a muscle injury in the thigh, as reported by the club, which means he will be out for at least three weeks. This period includes the Champions League match against Bruges and the return leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals against Barcelona, as well as La Liga matches against Espanyol, Oviedo, and Real Sociedad. Meanwhile, Lionel Scaloni will closely monitor his progress, a month and a half before the Finalissima.

"The red-and-white midfielder will undergo physiotherapy sessions and rehabilitation work in the gym, and the evolution of his injury will determine his return to competition," the medical report stated, which does not specify a downtime period, as is customary, although this type of injury typically requires at least three weeks of recovery before returning to competition.

Nico's absence, who felt discomfort during Sunday's match against Rayo Vallecano and underwent tests on Monday to assess the extent of the injury, adds to the list of absences for upcoming matches, including Pablo Barrios, who is recovering from a muscle injury and did not play in any of the last three matches against Betis, Barcelona, and Rayo.

Lionel Scaloni, head coach of the Argentina National Team, will closely monitor his recovery. La Albiceleste will face Spain in the Finalissima at the Lusail in Qatar on March 27.
