The player will continue to be monitored by the club’s medical staff and will remain under close supervision following the incident.
The striker was a January arrival at the Wanda Metropolitano from Olympique Lyonnais and he is one of the many players at the club who had been diagnosed with Covid-19 – causing him to miss a run of three matches last month.
He has so far featured in just 87 minutes of action for Atleti and he remains an understudy to main forward duo Luis Suarez and Joao Felix.
