Midfielder Juan Fernando Quintero has faced a series of challenges during his return to Independiente Medellín. On September 18, during a 2-2 draw against Atlético Bucaramanga, Quintero scored a penalty in the 51st minute but was subsequently targeted by a spectator who threw a bottle toward him while he was walking to the locker rooms. Although the object did not strike him, security and police were required to escort him safely.

On September 25, the club confirmed that Quintero sustained a muscle injury in his left rectus femoris during a match against Jaguares. After playing only 41 minutes, he was forced to leave the pitch. While a specific return date has not been set, initial estimates suggest he may be sidelined for approximately one month.
