Barça’s Medical Update on Cancelo: Positive News Ahead of International Duty
The FC Barcelona has released a medical statement confirming that Joao Cancelo did not travel to Madrid for the match against Atlético due to medical advice. The Portuguese player has successfully passed medical tests and will join his national team’s training camp.
Cancelo expressed his allegiance to Barcelona despite suggestions from Pepe that he belonged at Real Madrid.
The club clarified that Cancelo’s absence from the Atlético match was due to medical advice, shedding light on the “physical issues” mentioned before the game. Reports suggest that the decision was precautionary, possibly related to concerns over hereditary heart conditions in Cancelo’s family.
Portugal has two friendly matches scheduled during this international break, with Cancelo set to join the squad for the second game against Slovenia on Tuesday after being excused from the first match against Sweden.
