The great ‘signing’ is João Félix

João Félix is ​​already training with the whole group and the Portuguese forward will be available for Saturday’s clash against Mallorca (18:30 hours). The Atlético player has missed three games after the injury he suffered in training. It was not in the League matches against Osasuna and Cádiz and not in the Champions League against Milan. Now he is recovered from the blow suffered and will be the great ‘signing’ of Atlético for a month of December that is presented as decisive for the rojiblanco team.

Atlético plays against Mallorca, Later, he will travel to Porto to play the Champions League match and on Sunday 12 he will play the derby against Real Madrid (9:00 p.m.). The year will end with two other commitments at home, against Seville and Granada. Two difficult games. And Cholo will need his entire squad before this tough month. Atlético showed a very good second half against Cádiz, where Lemar, Griezmann, Correa and Cunha scored.

The Atlético forward has missed half of the league games that have been played. Of the fourteen days he has not played seven. He missed the first three due to the ankle operation he suffered at the end of the last European Championship. He was sent off on the fifth matchday against Athletic and missed the matches against Getafe and Alavés. And due to the blow suffered, he did not play against Osasuna and Cádiz.

That is why it has been difficult to have a regularity. Has played 323 minutes of competition league, with a goal and an assist. December must be an important month for the Portuguese, for whom the Champions League is a very motivating competition. In the European competition he has played good games, against Liverpool he had a very good performance. He also left sparkles in the match against Barcelona, but it still needs to curdle three or four good games in a row.

It is João Félix’s third season at Atlético and has a market value of 70 million. Simeone knows that he is a different player from the rest, that he can unbalance due to his quality. And he signed to play the big games that lie ahead for the rojiblanco team. At 22 years old, he is already made for high-level meetings.
