Luiz Felipe out for the rest of the season with ACL injury

Rayo Vallecano

He was trusted, and the little he has played in Vallecas has shown that he could be someone very important alongside Lejeune. A stroke of bad luck for the centre-back Luiz Felipe, who, as the Rayo itself announced on X, "has suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee".

A major blow for Beñat, although the squad was strengthened with Sadick and Kumbula, as well as the return of Pelayo. 

Although the red-and-white side has not specified a recovery timeline, we are talking about the defender missing the entire season. And, likely, part of the next one. 

Best of luck, Iceman.
