“Although it is not mandatory, I have to be with Atlético accompanying my teammates in the game. It should not have caused the injury. Atlético is absolutely right in the decision taken. I apologize here to the players, the coaching staff and the fans of the club. I hope It is true that Atlético achieves its goals and returns to the big stages of Portuguese football. I will continue to support the club, but this time in a different way,” added Silva.
