The Atlético de Madrid captain began the 2023-24 season with a setback as he limped off against Granada just moments after kickoff.
Koke Resurrección has had a tough start to the campaign, sustaining an early injury during the league opener at Civitas Metropolitano while his team faced Granada.
What injury does Koke have?
With only seven minutes on the clock, Koke left the field through injury. He could not continue and signaled for a substitution on the ground. Early indications point to a muscle issue, though official medical tests would confirm the diagnosis. A brief update on Atleti’s official channels described it as muscle discomfort during the match.
The setback comes at a precarious moment for coach Diego Simeone, who had called on the young Pablo Barrios to replace Koke. The veteran midfielder’s injury adds to Atlético’s midfield considerations as the club scouts options to strengthen that area of the pitch among the current transfer market activity.
