Barrios, temporary absence! Get well soon!
Our academy player Pablo Barrios gave us a scare in the match against Osasuna, after a heavy blow that forced him to be substituted. Although fortunately he got up on his own feet, the substitution was made under the concussion protocol, which means he will be absent in the next match against Betis.
A sensitive loss for the team, no doubt! The moment of the blow was shocking. After a play, Barrios fell to the ground and generated concern in all his teammates, who quickly requested medical assistance.
However, the young midfielder demonstrated his strength by being able to get up and leave the field on his own, being replaced by Nahuel Molina. On the bench, he received the support and affection of Simeone and the rest of the team.
The regulations are clear: after a substitution due to concussion, the player cannot play again in the following six days. This means that we will not be able to count on Barrios in the Metropolitano against Betis. However, good news! He will be available for the last game of the season in Girona. We look forward to your return stronger than ever, Pablo! Recover and give it your all for Atleti!
