Moussa Dembélé He has been one of the protagonists of Atlético de Madrid today in recent days. The Frenchman gave the scare in training on Tuesday, when he collapsed in the first minutes of the preparatory session. A fainting spell that scared everyone present at the Majadahonda Sports City.
The club treated the matter with zeal, subjecting the footballer to many tests to rule out a heart ailment. And fortunately, on Friday, in the last training session of the week, the Frenchman returned to exercise on the pitch. He did it solo, but it's a good sign. “Back. More fear than harm. Thank you for your warm messages and your attention.”, The forward wrote later in his social networks.
Another setback for this player, who arrived at Atlético in January on loan from the Olympique de Lyon, with a purchase option for mattresses of 32 million euros. Dembélé he landed with arm problems from which he quickly recovered. And when he was entering the dynamics of the group, he suffered coronavirus. He was out of the 'green' for a few weeks, but once he recovered, he began to count towards Simeone, always from the bench.
The Frenchman has participated in four games, accumulating a total of 91 minutes, in which he has left a good feeling. Especially in the clash against Getafe, in which he moved perfectly up front, although he was not successful in the face of the opposite door. Now he has had to stop again. And time is running out.
Because Dembélé He has ten games ahead of him to convince Simeone and the mattress leaders. Ten league games to show that you can have a place in this Atlético de Madrid. Another thing will be that the mattress entity makes the purchase option for that amount. Because in case of gaining continuity on the pitch, the rojiblancos would try to lower that figure.
But the first thing is that Dembélé perform on the field. And for this, you must have opportunities. Something that depends on the Cholo, who at the moment has not shown much confidence in the Frenchman despite the good feelings he has left when he has had the chance to play. If Atlético has ten finals to conquer LaLiga, Dembélé only has ten bullets left, if he has them, to convince.
