Salim El Jebari, the Atlético de Madrid young promise, has returned to the field with Atlético B and promises to be a key player for Fernando Torres' team. After a summer full of expectations and a series of injuries, the Spanish-Moroccan winger is ready to resume his position in the red-and-white's reserve team.
Salim's Return: Great News for Atlético de Madrid B
Last Saturday, Salim El Jebari made his debut this season in the match against Real Murcia. He came on in the 79th minute, just after the home team had taken the lead. During the few minutes he had, he showed glimpses of his ability and was present when Atlético B achieved the final equalizer. This appearance marks his official return after several months of physical problems that kept him off the field, preventing him from competing at the same level as his teammates.
Salim's summer was a rollercoaster of emotions and decisions. He was expected to be part of Atlético's first team's pre-season squad, and was also on the shortlist to represent Morocco at the Olympic Games. However, he was ultimately not drafted for pre-season friendlies nor did he make it into the final Olympic squad. In addition, several loan options were evaluated, as teams from the Second Division and even abroad showed interest in the player, looking to give him more minutes and experience.
Fernando Torres and Simeone are excited about Salim's potential
Salim's return is not only a source of joy for Fernando Torres, but also for Diego Simeone, who is closely following the development of this talented winger. Salim was one of the stars of Atlético B last season, with a record of four goals and five assists. The coaching staff is confident that, once fully recovered, the Spanish-Moroccan can regain the prominence and performance that made him one of the most valuable players in the reserve team.
Fernando Torres, who is in charge of guiding Atlético B, knows Salim's potential and hopes that his return will bring an offensive plus to the team. Along with his teammate Diego Bri, Salim has the talent and dynamism necessary to make the red-and-white reserve team more competitive in the championship, and expectations are high.
