Barrios, caution after the hit: out against Betis
Bad news for the Rojiblancos fans: Barrios, after the scare in the match against Osasuna, will not be available for the crucial match against Betis at the Metropolitano. The youth player, who suffered a concussion after an accidental collision, has undergone the relevant medical tests which, fortunately, ruled out serious injuries.
However, the Atlético medical team, following LaLiga protocols, has opted for maximum caution and has decided that the young midfielder should take complete rest for the next few days. Despite Barrios wanting to continue playing and the initial tests being reassuring, the player’s health comes first.
Therefore, he did not train on Friday nor will he on Saturday, focusing on his recovery and favorable evolution. The priority is to confirm the initial good feelings. On the other hand, Azpilicueta, who also suffered a blow in the match at El Sadar, is in good condition and was able to train normally.
The team is preparing for the last home game of the season, where they will be looking for a victory that will please their fans and consolidate their position in the table. Despite Barrios’ absence, we trust in the Atleti’s grit and fighting spirit to get the three points!
