Abstract
Acute injury to the adductor muscle is common in football players, has a good prognosis and causes fewer days of absence from sports compared to injuries to other muscle groups. An acute injury causes intense pain and requires immediate sports cessation. The diagnosis is clinical and is supported by magnetic resonance imaging, which is considered the exam of reference. In this text we describe the clinical case of a right-handed professional football player, who suffered an injury to the left adductor longus muscle, classified as 2b (British classification of muscle injuries). Multidisciplinary and player involvement, application of load to the muscle from the beginning and respect for pain throughout the process allowed the player to participate in an official football game nine days after the injury.
