Banini, with his return closer

Atlético started 2022 with great news: Estefania Banini completed part of the first training session of the year with the rest of the team. Thus, the Atletico midfielder takes another step in his recovery after his serious knee injury, of which Argentina was operated successfully.

The player underwent arthroscopy in which she had a partial menisectomy of the medial meniscus in her right knee in early November. Now, Banini returns to touch the ball with his teammates, with a return to the pitch that is closer. The Argentine, who signed for Atlético last summer market, suffered an injury at the end of last October. A fact that truncated his good performance as a rojiblanca.

In total, the former Levante has played about six games and has scored two goals. In addition, Banini was leaving a very good feeling regarding his game. A fact that has led him to be nominated among the 23 candidates to be in the best eleven of the year of FIFPRO, to be made official on January 17.

Atlético returned to work this Monday after the Christmas break. The rojiblancas return with great motivation on the first day of the year in which they will experience a Madrid derby against Real Madrid at home. Óscar Fernández’s team is third in the standings with one game less, the one postponed due to the positive cases on the last day of 2021 against Athletic.

In this way, the Madrid team has not played since December 18, when he thrashed at home 6-1 against Betis. A result that improved the sensations in an Atlético that goes for all in 2022, the year in which it wants to qualify again for the Champions League.
