MADRID, 30 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Atlético de Madrid striker Memphis Depay suffers “an injury to his right thigh” after the tests carried out on the Dutch player, who had to be substituted on Monday in the win against Rayo Vallecano on the third day of LaLiga EA Sports.
“Memphis Depay suffers a muscle injury in his right thigh, as determined by the tests he underwent this Tuesday morning after being forced to retire in the 35th minute of the match against Rayo Vallecano on Monday” , says the official statement of the rojiblanco team this Wednesday.
Memphis made it 0-2 in Vallecas after 16 minutes but after half an hour he had to leave the pitch due to a new muscular setback that could keep him from playing for several weeks. Atlético reported the start of the striker’s recovery with “physiotherapy sessions”. “He will undergo readaptation training and his evolution is pending,” he adds.
After the win (0-7) in the derby against Rayo, the Madrid team begins a demanding schedule against Seville, Valencia and Real Madrid. However, the national team break after the match against the Andalusians could help Diego Pablo Simeone to recover his player before completing this demanding stretch.
