Felipe plans to join training today from Atlético. The rojiblanco center-back will not yet jump onto the pitch and continue with treatment of the knee injury who suffered in the middle of June with the Brazil's selection. The defender had a partial tear in the external ligament of his right knee, he was injured in training, so he did not play the Copa América. In the first game he was on the bench. He was out due to injury and the estimated loss was about four weeks of treatment.
Felipe will make the final part of recovery from his injury in Madrid and in principle it will be available for the league start, as there are still four weeks before the start of the competition. Simeone now has Savic and Hermoso. Gimenez played with Uruguay the Copa América and will start later the trainings. That is why it is important for Cholo to have Felipe in good condition at the start of the league.
Philip he was a footballer very important for Simeone last season. At the age of 32, he had a great exercise and was perfectly coupled to the system of three center-backs and two lanes. He played 38 official competition matches: 31 of LaLiga, five from the Champions League and two from the Copa del Rey. He played 2,613 minutes and everyone highlighted his work in the team.
The Brazilian has a contract until 2022 and in these next two weeks he has to finish recovering from his injury. His goal right now is to get his right knee back well after the injury. From now on he is at the command of Cholo. He is already thinking about his league debut against Celta.
