The Deportivo Cali coach answered a question asked by more than one team fan: How are you Jorge Arias? He was one of the best players in 2021-1. Unfortunately, he left due to a serious injury.
It was on April 11 when he was injured in a game against Atlético Nacional. That day he only played 44 minutes. He started as a starter and had to leave the court in great pain. Hours later it was learned that he had undergone arthroscopy for an injury to the internal meniscus and involvement of the anterior cruciate ligament. Initially, there was talk of a recovery of between 6 and 8 months.

It is reaching the seventh month and therefore the inquiries of several fans. How is your recovery going and when could you play again? Rafael Dudamel was consulted this Thursday at a press conference. The Venezuelan coach responded in this regard:
“We have already started to put Jorge Arias into the possible starting team. It’s okay and it is not easy for me as a coach to get to a set-up after 8 months of recovery, less at a time when we are at stake in qualifying. He is doing football and we are taking it little by little ”.
To date Jorge Arias has 16 games with Deportivo Cali. He contributed a couple of goals. He scored Envigado and Independiente Medellín in commitments that ended in a draw for Deportivo Cali. Now he is expected to be ready to be an alternative at the end of the semester, in a position in which the team has Hernán Lessse, Jorge Marsiglia and José Caldera, mainly.
