João Félix left replaced by a rib trauma

João Félix left Atlético-Elche in the 73rd minute after a blow suffered in the first half. As the rojiblanco club explains, “he had to be replaced due to annoyances caused by a rib trauma “. The footballer dropped to the ground to ask for the change and left the field accompanied by Dr. Celada.

The action that left the Portuguese sore happened in the first half, but he held out until after the break. Halfway through the second half he asked for the change. Simeone explained it at the press conference: “The blow was strong, it was hard, I saw it in the play that they want to count one against with a lock. The play continues, but until the second half he was on the field in pain. I saw him working very well, even though he was not comfortable. Once he kicked, he looked annoyed. We prefer to let it rest, we needed a little more leg. “

Portuguese is pending evolution. “Let's hope it's just the blow,” reasoned Cholo, waiting for the footballer to recover in the next sessions. João was not very loose against Elche, although he had time for two shots, one of them on goal. The next appointment is Tuesday at 7:45 p.m., at the home of Real Sociedad.
