Pablo Barrios withdraws from the friendly due to muscle discomfort - does his condition raise concerns?

Atlético de Madrid

The doubt begins in a minute-45 incident. After a run and a pass into one of the forwards, Barrios slowed down, protested the play and shortly afterwards ended up crouching on the pitch. The image has drawn attention because the player carries the memory of several muscle injuries during last season.

During the first half, no clear problem had been seen. Nor was it unusual that the change came at halftime, since the match featured many rotations typical of a pre-season friendly, with substitutions even before the half-hour mark and other movements after the restart.

With no medical report yet, Barrios' situation remains open. It could be a discomfort, but it could also simply be fatigue in the middle of summer preparation. The Atlético de Madrid has not commented for now on the midfielder's condition.

The rojiblanco side has marked their league debut for next Wednesday against the Málaga, a fixture for which the XI used this Friday could serve as a reference. Attention will be focused on any information that may emerge from the capital's media and on the recovery training session scheduled for the squad.

If Barrios were not available for that match, Morten Hjulmand appears as the main candidate to take his place in the middle of the field.
