Atlético de Madrid has a new concern on its injury list at a decisive stage of the season. Following medical tests carried out this Thursday, the club has confirmed that American midfielder Johnny Cardoso is suffering from a high-grade sprain in his right ankle.
An incident during training
The injury occurred during the morning training session on May 7, when the player suffered a heavy knock that prevented him from continuing the drills. Subsequent tests confirmed the extent of the issue, verifying that it is a considerably serious injury that will keep him off the pitch for an indefinite period.
Recovery process
The Rojiblancos' No. 5 has already begun treatment with physiotherapy sessions and functional rehabilitation exercises in the gym. As is usual in these cases, the club has not set an exact return date, stating that his availability will depend strictly on his clinical progress over the coming weeks.
