Johnny Cardoso ruled out for Atlético: low-grade muscle injury
Atlético have ruled out Johnny Cardoso for this Saturday’s match vs Depor after a low-grade thigh muscle injury.
Atlético de Madrid have lost Johnny Cardoso after he missed the last training session with “a low-grade muscle injury in the thigh”, as the club explained. The problem started during the Champions League match against VfB Stuttgart, where the American was substituted in the second half.
Out for the Depor match
After tests this Thursday, the medical team set a recovery plan combining physiotherapy and gym-based rehabilitation. For now, Cardoso is fully ruled out for this Saturday’s game against Depor.
He joins Koke and the Cuti Romero in the treatment room. Koke is dealing with a muscle injury in his left thigh, while Romero has a minor adductor issue.
