In this season, Madrid will already have to do without the services of right back Juan Valera. The footballer suffered a cruciate ligament injury in the victorious Spanish championship match against "Deportivo" over the weekend.
In the coming days, J.Valera will undergo surgery, but it is clear that he will no longer play this season.
The 22-year-old defender arrived at "Atletico", currently in sixth place in Spain, in 2005 from "Real Murcia", where he was one of the leaders.
Juan Valera was also a member of the Spanish U-21 national team.
