After Mario Suárez, his teammate Ansaldi and a player of VfL Wolfsburg fought for a high ball that overflew the middle of the field, Atlético’s midfielder fell to the grass the wrong way, resulting in a strong blow to the head.

The player was quickly treated and despite the initial shock, Mario regained consciousness and was taken to a Hospital to have a cranial CT for a "traumatic head injury". The red and white player will be admitted for observation tonight and will undergo new tests on Monday.
