Javi Galán suffers a moderate grade ankle sprain
Atlético de Madrid resumed work after the day off granted after the victory against Bayer Leverkusen. However, Javi Galán stayed in the gym due to a torsion in the ankle and knee that caused damage to the fibula.
This Thursday the lateral passed more in-depth medical tests that allowed a more accurate diagnosis of his ailment. According to the medical services of Atlético de Madrid, he suffers from a ‘moderate grade ankle sprain’.
In addition, they indicate that the player ‘has already started physiotherapy treatment and rehabilitation work and remains pending evolution’. Javi Galán will not play on Saturday against Villarreal, not due to this injury, but because he is suspended. Being a mild sprain, he is not ruled out for the match against Salzburg on Wednesday in the last round of the Champions League group stage, although Diego Simeone could give him rest and recover well for the next commitment of Atlético, which will be on Saturday, February 1st against Mallorca at the Metropolitano at 6:30 p.m.
