Ignacio Camacho has been the last player That withdraw for injuries and that has a rojiblanco past. Far from it this has been the only case, since the rojiblanco club is not accompanied by luck in regards to injuries.

Some broke playing rojiblanco

Among the players who suffered serious injuries while watching in the rojiblancas ranks, three cases stand out.

Juninho Paulista: The Brazilian player (February 22, 1973) He arrived at Atlético in the summer of 1997 from the English Middlesbrough for 3 billion pesetas (18 million euros). The Rio international made his debut for the rojiblancos scoring a goal against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu on the first matchday of the league. However, February 1, 1998 was a turning point in Juninho's career. That day, Atlético visited Celta in Balaídos and in minute 70 of the game Michel Salgado made an entry from behind the Brazilian at the ankle, causing him a fibula fracture, as well as the rupture of multiple ligaments. This injury kept the player standing for just three months, arriving to play the last games of the season. However, he was never the same again. He remained in the squad for one more campaign and in the summer of 1999 he returned to his country, to Vasco de Gama. Retired in 2010 playing in the modest Ituano. Total played 66 games for Atlético in which he scored 18 goals and gave 5 assists.

Tiago Mendes: The Portuguese midfielder (May 2, 1981) is one of the most beloved players of Atlético's recent era.

Total He played 228 games with Atlético, scoring 19 goals and giving 14 goals..

Augusto Fernandez: The Argentine midfielder (April 10, 1986) joined the ranks of Atlético in December 2015 to make up for, precisely, the loss of Tiago. He came from Celta and was an important resource for Simeone, becoming the winter signing who played the most minutes with the Argentine coach until that moment since he arrived on the mattress bench. However, September 25, 2016, in a league match against Deportivo de La Coruña at the Vicente Calderón, suffered a blow to the knee that caused a rupture of the cruciate ligament in the right knee that resulted in 303 days of sick leave.

Despite the fact that he underwent surgery in October 2018, the interventions did not yield results. And, today, has decided to retire officially.

Álvaro Domínguez: Unfortunately, Domínguez had to hang up his boots because of his back pain. A prodigious career braking at 27 years after many operations where I did not see the light at the end of the tunnel. Although these annoyances began at Atlético de Madrid, it was finally in his time with Borussia Mönchengladbach when he really realized that he couldn't continue playing football. The case of Domínguez recalls, although saving the distance of youth, that of Camacho.

His left knee was the cause that doctor Villalón had to travel to Belgium to operate on him. Missed the season since February.
