Atlanta United announced today that defender George Campbell will be out week-to-week after sustaining an abductor injury during the club’s 2-1 loss against Inter Miami CF on Sunday.
Now, I’m not a doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express lsat night (sorry), but let’s discuss the anatomy here just so everyone is on the same page. An abductor injury is NOT a groin injury — that’s would be an “adductor.” An adductor or abductor is really more of a generic term for what a muscle is responsible for. In this case, and abductor is a muscle that moves the body part away from the midline.
