Sørloth forced off injured after brutal clash of heads | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid arrived at the Ciutat de Valencia with a depleted squad, and before the half-hour mark, more bad news followed. In a Levante corner, the Norwegian striker Sørloth, who was covering the near post, tried to clear a ball from Atlético’s area. In that play, the striker and Matías Moreno collided head-to-head and both fell to the ground. The referee stopped the match and alarm bells rang on both benches.

The medical staff of Atlético de Madrid attended to Sørloth, who was unable to get up and had to leave the match against Levante earlier than expected. The rest of his teammates signaled to Simeone, asking him to make the substitution, just before the Norwegian left the pitch on a stretcher. This is a very worrying situation for the rojiblanco team, as they are already stretched thin.
