The Turkish team where the former América, Ajax of the Netherlands and West Ham United player provides his services won 3-1 to consolidate itself in second place in the Turkish Super League, appearing on the field in the 90th minute, which represents good news for the Mexican team 40 days before the start of the World Cup and where coach Javier Aguirre has high hopes that he will make a full recovery..
Álvarez had not seen action for almost 90 days, since his last performance was on February 5, when he underwent a surgical procedure on his left ankle in which a shorter rehabilitation time was expected, but for different reasons until this Saturday he was able to see action in the Turkish team.
But not everything was smooth sailing, since Álvarez, after the victory, was reprimanded with whistles and shouts by the Fenerbahce fans, who, upon realizing this, was visibly upset, faced the fans and With his hand he dismissed the audience’s gesture, alluding to them continuing and not listening to anything.
This action put the Mexican player in trouble, who has lost ground in the Turkish team, due to his prolonged absence after undergoing surgery and the arrival of Frenchman N’golo Kanté, and his future in the team is up in the airsince his letter still belongs to West Ham.
