Racing SantanderDiagnosed with hamstring micro-tear
Felipe was diagnosed with a micro-tear in the hamstring fibers of his right thigh after undergoing imaging tests, the club posted.
Analysis: Felipe was hurt in the 16th minute of the season opener against Villarreal and had to be substituted as a result. His recovery timeline will depend on how the injury progresses, with the club not yet committing to a firm return date. The 22-year-old center back joined Racing this summer from Juventus on a deal through 2030 and had quickly established himself as a key defensive addition before this setback. Manu is expected to continue deputizing for him in central defense until Felipe is available again.
Withdraws after 15 minutes
Felipe (muscular) was withdrawn just 15 minutes into Racing Santander's league opener against Villarreal after suffering muscular discomfort, according to the club.
Analysis: Felipe had started alongside Pablo Ramon at El Sardinero before needing attention and coming off, with his condition still pending medical evaluation. The setback comes at a sensitive time for the 22-year-old, who joined from Juventus this summer on a deal through June 2030 and had already acknowledged on Aug. 11 that he wasn't at his best physical condition after suffering a kidney colic at the end of his vacation, despite declaring himself ready to compete. Manu is expected to step in for him if Felipe is ruled unavailable. Felipe is expected to have the extent of this latest issue determined in the coming days.
Transferred to Racing Santander
Felipe has completed a permanent transfer to Racing Santander from Juventus, according to his former club.
Analysis: Felipe made 34 appearances with two goals for Juventus Next Gen before earning a call up to the senior squad, and spent the second half of last season on loan at Sassuolo, where he was expected to provide depth behind the club's starting center backs. The Brazilian defender, who joined Juventus from Palmeiras in early 2024, now begins a new chapter in Spain as he continues his development.
