The Toluca Red Devils footballer has accumulated few minutes with the club this season. Alexis Vega had a lot of time playing with discomfort and He decided to have a treatment on the affected area so he could feel better.
“I wasn’t planning on doing the cleaning. I’ve been playing with my knee like this for almost a year and a half. I didn’t have any pain until one day during training I felt a puncture in which I couldn’t extend my knee anymore. Abilities a sign that I had to do the cleaning. I believe that God puts things in their place. He sent me this test on time. I thank you very much because I have had time to recover,” Vega said in statements compiled by Fox Sports.

“Many people out there are paying attention and are very entertained by my knee. We already know that it is a damaged knee, a knee that I have been playing with for quite some time. Now I feel quite well. For those who are worried, I tell you that I am quite well. I have the World Cup very close, but I am thinking first of getting into a rhythm with my team to be able to help the national team as well.“, he added.
