Atletico Madrid striker Sorloth taken to hospital after head injury

Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth was taken to a hospital after he knocked heads with a Levante player in a La Liga game, the club said. Sorloth, a Norway player, collided with Levante defender Matias Moreno on Saturday while disputing a ball in the 27th minute of the scoreless draw. Both were substituted immediately.

Atletico said Sorloth endured head trauma and was taken to a hospital in Valencia for medical tests. Levante did not immediately report on Moreno’s status. The 30-year-old Sorloth has 10 goals across all competitions for Atletico this season. It is in third place in La Liga and will face Club Brugge in a Champions League playoff next month.
