Atlético Madrid player Pablo Barrios has suffered a new injury that will prevent him from participating in the match against Arsenal on Wednesday, April 29, in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, according to the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo."

The newspaper indicated that this is the player's third injury in the last two months, and his fourth this season, amid a series of muscle injuries he has been suffering from since the beginning of the season.

Barrios was injured during the match against Athletic Bilbao, where he fell in the middle of the second half after a collision with Yuri. He immediately felt pain in the back of his left thigh and took the ball out of play himself, realizing the nature of the injury.

According to the report, the player was close to the bench when he approached coach Diego Simeone to inform him of what had happened, before leaving the field in a state of great distress.

It is noted that Barrios recently returned after being absent for nearly a month due to a muscle injury in his right thigh, which he sustained during the King's Cup match against Real Betis at the beginning of February.

The Spanish newspaper explained that he participated for a few minutes in the Champions League against Tottenham, before suffering a new muscle injury that sidelined him again for another month.

The player recently played limited minutes against Elche before suffering his current injury during the match against Athletic Bilbao.

This is his fourth injury of the season, following his struggles with calf muscle pain earlier in the year, in addition to two other muscular injuries.

According to the source, Pablo Barrios has missed 16 matches this season due to recurring injuries that have affected his continuity with the team.
