Nico Gonzalez Injury Rules Him Out of Spanish Super Cup

Nico Gonzalez has sustained a muscle injury in his right thigh, an ailment picked up during his team's recent match against Girona.

The injury is expected to keep him off the pitch for several weeks, casting significant doubt over his participation in the upcoming Spanish Super Cup, set to be held in Saudi Arabia.

With the tournament just two weeks away, hopes for Gonzalez's involvement are extremely low. He is a crucial player on the left wing for coach Diego Simeone's squad.

Gonzalez has traveled to Argentina to commence his recovery process during his holiday break.

While his return to action will depend on the progression of his condition, the tight timeframe makes it challenging for him to compete for the season's first piece of silverware.
