Barrios: Rest and Caution After the Blow
Pablo Barrios, Atlético’s youth player, was notably absent from Friday’s training session after suffering a head injury during the match against Osasuna. Although tests performed in Pamplona ruled out serious problems, the club has decided to proceed with caution, following a strict recovery protocol.
Barrios will have to remain in absolute rest for 48 hours, which will prevent him from participating in the next match against Betis at the Metropolitano. The CT scan, EKG, and blood tests confirmed his good condition, allowing him to return to Madrid with the rest of the team.
However, the priority of the Rojiblancos’ medical team is the player’s health, showing special sensitivity to head trauma. After the rest period, Barrios will gradually return to training, always under medical supervision and taking his sensations into account.
Caution is paramount, ruling out his participation in the last home game of this season, following the line of action that the club already demonstrated with Le Normand. The medical team, led by Óscar Luis Celada, prioritizes the player’s health, even though Barrios initially wanted to continue playing after the blow.
