Madrid: With Atletico Madrid ramping up their training for a potential La Liga restart their Portugal attacker Joao Felix has twisted his left knee, his club said on Monday. The 20-year-old forward was one of Atletico’s key players.
Atletico Madrid currently lie sixth in the table a point behind fourth placed Real Sociedad. They broke their transfer record for Felix last July when they signed him from Benfica.
The fee was not made public but Spanish media reported that Atletico have paid just over the player’s €120 million.
The Spanish top-flight is targeting a June 11 restart but the news of Felix’s injury would rule him out of that, with his team in sixth position with 11 matches to play. An Atletico statement said Felix “has suffered a low grade medial collateral ligament left knee sprain, as confirmed by tests he underwent at the Clinica Universidad de Navarra.”
The playmaker would at any rate have missed their first match against Athletic Bilbao due to suspension, but could be in the reckoning for the game after against Osasuna. While Felix has scored six goals in his 28 games since joining Atletico, he has also been injured twice missing a total of ten matches. (AFP)
