Real Madrid Club give injury prone defender another year

The injury-prone Abner Felipe will continue at Real Madrid, despite two serious knee injuries, as the club continues to have faith in the youngster who has extended his stay with Los Blancos for one more season.

Despite joining the club's B-team Castilla back in the summer of 2014 the Brazilian full-back has hardly featured for the club, due to two serious knee injuries at the start of both his seasons in Spain.

However during the few times he has played, at training sessions and above all from previous reports he's been good enough to convince Madrid to grant him a further year's stay.

The interest in Abner from the club is still high and there's hope that he'll overcome his injuries from now on and finally demonstrate his qualities and potential as one of the most promising Brazilian youngsters.

The player has the support from first team coach Zinedine Zidane while the club's supporters still haves big expectations on him having heard incredible things about the player, although they yet haven't been able to enjoy the Brazilian's football first hand.

Hopes now rest on the idiom that third time's the charm as Abner begins his third season with Los Blancos.
