Atlético Madrid's Félix to miss 1 month after knee injury

Félix, the attacking midfielder for Atlético Madrid, has been ruled out for at least one month due to a knee injury.

The Spanish club confirmed on their official website that Félix will be sidelined for "at least" one month with a torn ligament in his knee. The news comes as a blow to the team, who were already struggling defensively and lacked depth in midfield.

Félix, who joined Atlético from Real Betis last summer, had made a strong start to life in La Liga, scoring twice in his first three games for the club. However, his time off could be crucial for Atlético, who are currently second in the league table and facing tough fixtures against Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The injury is a setback for Atlético, who have struggled to find the best balance between attack and defense this season. With several key players missing through injury or suspension, including goalkeeper Jan Oblak and defenders Javi Martínez and Thomas Partey, it will be up to the likes of Félix and other young talents like Luis Suárez to step up and fill the void.

Despite the setback, Atlético remain hopeful that Félix can make a full recovery and return to action soon. The club will now turn their attention to finding a replacement for him, with a number of potential targets being linked with a move to Atletico.
