Azpilicueta: A heavyweight in the Red and White locker room
Bad news for the Colchoneros fans: César Azpilicueta joins Koke in the infirmary. The defender, who already missed the Copa match, suffers a moderate muscle injury in his right leg, as confirmed by the club.
This means he will not be available for the important match against Athletic, nor apparently for the Champions League tie. A sensitive loss for the team. Despite this unfortunate injury, the positive impact that Azpilicueta has had on Atlético is undeniable.
With 12 matches played and more than 800 minutes on the field, his experience and leadership have been fundamental. Arriving this season, the player has become a pillar within the locker room, especially for his support to the youngest and his ability to transmit the instructions of the coaching staff.
Although this injury may truncate his participation in the next matches, Azpilicueta’s legacy in the club is undeniable. His career, crowned with the Champions League as Chelsea captain, brings a winning mentality and valuable experience. Surely, from a distance, he will continue to support his teammates. Come on, Azpilicueta, we’ll wait for you back at the Metropolitano!
