Atlético Madrid's Félix has suffered a serious knee injury that will keep him out for the next one month, according to reports from Spanish media. The forward sustained the injury during training on Monday and is expected to be sidelined until at least the end of January.
Félix has been in excellent form this season, scoring eight goals in 14 league appearances for Atlético Madrid. He was also part of Spain's squad for the recent UEFA Nations League match against Germany, but had to miss out due to his injury.
The club have already signed a replacement for Félix in the shape of Šime Vrsaljko, who has joined from Inter Milan. However, it remains to be seen whether he can replace the former Athletic Bilbao star's impact on the team.
Félix's injury comes at a crucial time for Atlético Madrid, as they look to defend their La Liga title. With only four games left in the season, they will need all their players available if they want to secure a successful campaign.
Despite the setback, Atlético Madrid will be hoping that they can find a way to cope without Félix and still compete for the championship. It will certainly be a difficult task, but with their experienced squad and coaching staff, they will undoubtedly give it their best shot.
