Another bad news at Atlético. On the last play of the first half, João Felix received a blow from Mandi when the Portuguese kicked on goal. The rojiblanco player remained lying on the ground and, finally, although he returned to the field after the break, he asked for the change the minute after the restart. Injured again. Torreira entered his place.
Simeone he had lost shortly before the meeting with Lemar, due to muscular discomfort. And he arrived at Betis' house without Llorente or Suárez for sanction. That is to say, four of the most decisive footballers of Atlético who have been falling for one reason or another. Dembélé, who could have had minutes before the casualties, is not ready either.
João Félix also returned to eleven after having missed the game against Sevilla also due to ankle problems. During the week he struggled to get to the appointment well against Betis and formed in the starting team. Cholo trusts him a lot and reminded him that he wants to see what he did against Chelsea, that leadership ability. The tests will determine the severity of the ailment.
During the #RealBetisAtleti, @ joaofelix70 he was replaced due to an ankle trauma.
For its part, @ trippier2 he also had to be changed due to lumbar discomfort. Both are pending evolution.– Atlético de Madrid (@Atleti) April 11, 2021
Trippier was also injured
In minute 77, Trippier suffered a blow to the lower back. Tello tried to dribble and accidentally kicked him. The British did not take in throwing himself to the ground and requesting the change. Vrsaljko entered for him, occupying the third substitution window (Vitolo had previously entered).
