Returning to the field last weekend, after eight months spent recovering from an injury, Nabil Fekir reunited with his Real Bets teammates. And some are full of praise for him.
The time must have seemed long to him. Eight months after being stopped short by a rupture of the cruciate ligament in his left knee, Nabil Fekir played again for the first time last Saturday, when he came into play against Mallorca (2-0, 12th day of La Liga). Once again the beneficiary of a few minutes this week in the Europa League against Aris Limassol (4-1), the former Lyonnais missed a penalty. But it doesn’t matter for his teammates, who are happy to have one of their best players back before he gets injured. Ayoze Perez was not the last to weave a laurel wreath for her.
In comments reported Sunday by A.S., the former Leicester City player said all the good things he thought of his Betis teammate. “ We saw that his return was a very special moment. We missed him. He is a player who makes the difference, we are happy to have him back and the supporters also expressed it that way. » It will obviously take a little more time before Nabil Fekir regains his full capabilities, but he could be important this Sunday, during the derby against Sevilla FC (6:30 p.m.).
Take care of him
Aware of the patience required for his “beticos” partner, Ayoze Perez continued in the same vein: “ Having players of the quality of Fekir or Isco next to you always helps. These are players who make others better. You have to take care of them in today’s football, they are attractive and do different things. » Strong words and a great mark of recognition for the 2018 world champion with the Blues.
