Expected to miss three more weeks
Felipe (hamstring) is still recovering from a high-grade tear in his hamstring and is likely to remain ou a further three weeks, according to Pablo Villa of Marca.
Analysis: Felipe has been out to open the season after suffering a serious injury in his hamstring, still unable to recover after a few weeks. That said, he will continue on the sidelines, as the defender will likely remain out for a further three weeks as he recovers. This will leave him eyeing a return following the September break, giving the club a bit more depth from the bench once he returns.
Extends contract for one season
Felipe has agreed a new deal with Rayo Vallecano to remain at the club for one more season, according to the club.
Analysis: Felipe made 10 appearances for Rayo last season, including seven starts, contributing 12 tackles, eight interceptions and 24 clearances across two clean sheets, before a high grade hamstring tear suffered in Athens required surgery and ended his campaign early with a four month recovery timeline. The extension keeps him tied to the club as he continues his recovery, though the injury means he is expected to miss the start of next season as well. Rayo will need to manage its center back options carefully in the meantime, with Felipe's return likely to come only once preseason and the early weeks of the campaign have passed.
