Unpleasant news reached Madrid's "Atletico" and the Brazilian national team - Filipe Luis suffered a leg fracture and will be out of the lineup until the beginning of the next season.
The 32-year-old defender suffered a serious injury in yesterday's UEFA Europa League match against Moscow's "Lokomotiv". The Brazilian broke his left leg shinbone after a hard collision with the opponent's forward Eder.
F. Luisas was immediately replaced and upon returning to Madrid, he found out that he will have to miss a significant amount of time without playing football.
The footballer will have to swallow a bitter pill, as he was one of the contenders to go to the 2018 World Cup with Brazil, but the defender will not be able to fulfill his dream.
This season, F. Luisas played 18 matches and scored one goal.
