Trippier suffers a grade III sprain to his left shoulder

Trippier’s gestures of pain, as soon as he fell to the ground in Mestalla, last Sunday, in a part of the field where there is no longer grass, but a very hard surface, they were clairvoyant. Pain. There was a lot of pain. The English side was no longer able to get up after that collision with Helder Costa that had ended with him on the ground, plummeting onto his left shoulder. The first tests, in a hospital in Valencia, gave some reassurance: a bone injury was ruled out. Tests that have been completed this afternoon in Madrid, at Atlético’s reference center, the University Clinic of Navarra: the Englishman suffers a sprain. And it’s the worst possible.

“Grade III sprain of the left acromioclavicular joint“, specifies the medical report published by the rojiblanco club.” The British side will carry out rehabilitation and physiotherapy sessions and its evolution will mark the return to training with the group“, Add.

Trippier is one of Simeone’s key pieces since he signed for the rojiblanco club two seasons ago. “Being a winger, he has a very high vision of the game for his position.

In principle during this selection break. At the moment, it is already touching the ball.
