Argentine defender Felipe Salomone arrives in the country today to undergo medical tests before officially signing with Al Ain FC. This step represents a turning point in the player’s sporting career, which almost ended prematurely due to his suffering from a rare disease that kept him off the field for seven months, before he fully recovered. However, upon his return, he found that things had changed a lot and he was no longer in the plans of his Argentine club River Plate, nicknamed “The Millionaires”, where he grew up and was forced to move to the ranks of Guarani FC in Paraguay, with whom he regained his journey of brilliance, while he did not hesitate to pack his bags to answer the call of his compatriot Hernan Crespo, coach of Al Ain FC.
Defender Salomone’s career was on the rise with River Plate, but he suffered a “blood clot” in mid-2022 that kept him off the field for a long time. The Argentine newspaper “LPM”, which is interested in River Plate news, reported that tests showed that the player was suffering from a blood clot in the vein under the collarbone, known as “stress thrombosis.”
The newspaper reported that River Plate’s medical team at the time explained that Felipe Salomoni would have to undergo treatment that would take between two and three months before he could compete professionally again, and that he could train with his teammates, run or kick the ball, but he must not have friction in the collarbone area, which would prevent him from completing the rest of the season with the team.
“When you have to go through these situations you become stronger,” Salomoni told River Plate’s website after recovering from the injury. “I trained as much as I could and spoke a lot with the psychologist Pablo Negro, who helped me a lot. I had the support of the whole team, which was fundamental in my return, as well as the love of my family and friends.”
Although the defender returned to participate normally with the reserve team later, he suffered difficulties in continuing, and was forced to leave his childhood club, where he spent 13 years, and join the ranks of Paraguayan Guarani, with whom he regained his journey of brilliance again by getting the opportunity to participate in 38 matches. In front of the offer he received from Al Ain Club, the player did not hesitate to agree to leave.
The Al Ain Football Club announced the day before yesterday that it had reached an initial agreement with the Paraguayan club for the transfer of defender Felipe Salomoni to the ranks of the “Boss” for one year on loan, but without specifying whether there was a clause that included the right to purchase at the end of the period.
The signing of Salomone comes within the framework of Al Ain’s desire to strengthen its ranks and find a suitable alternative for player Erik Jurgenitz in the left-back position, especially since coach Crespo is forced to use defender Khaled Batti to compensate for the absence of the injured Erik, despite the player Khaled Batti’s position on the right flank.
