Godinho was one of Atlético Madrid's standout performers last season, scoring 12 goals and providing eight assists in all competitions. He also played a key role in their success in the UEFA Champions League, where Atlético Madrid reached the semi-finals.
Despite the setback,Bundesliga Tracking Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone praised Godinho's professionalism and dedication to the team. "We are going to miss Godinho, but we know he will come back stronger," Simeone said. "He is a great professional and I am sure he will recover quickly."
In conclusion, the latest injury update from Atlético Madrid is certainly disappointing, especially given the club's recent struggles. However, the club will undoubtedly work hard to find a replacement for Godinho and hope that he returns to full fitness as soon as possible.
