Angelino and Leipzig clash over absence: No muscle issue, I'm fit
Posted Sunday, February 28, 2021 by Marca.com
Angelino was at the centre of controversy on Saturday after declaring himself fit for a match against Borussia Monchengladbach when RB Leipzig hadn't.
The Spanish international wasn't included in Julian Nagelsmann's matchday squad for the Bundesliga fixture because of injury.
"Angelino misses out with a minor muscle issue," Leipzig's English twitter account said.
"No muscle issue, I'm fit," Angelino surprisingly replied.
After the game, which had seen Leipzig come from two goals down to win 3-2 late on, Nagelsmann was asked about the incident.
"It wasn't the smartest thing," Nagelsmann asid.
"Of course, we'll discuss it with him.
"I also have to say that I really like Angelino for such things because he always wants to play.
"He gets annoyed when he has to miss a game or two.
"He has a few light muscle problems.
"He'll think about it twice. There are smarter solutions."
