Camilo Vargas He is considered the best goalkeeper in the mexican soccer thanks to their impressive numbers. So far, he has managed to save 10 penalties and was a prominent player in the titles that Atlas obtained during the Apertura 2021 and the Clausura 2022. In addition, he is expected to start the Colombian National Team in the next matches against Korea and Japan.
Since he arrived in the 2019 season, the Colombian goalkeeper has accumulated a total of 12,276 minutes in 137 games in the local tournament. He is considered the undisputed starter on his team and has set a record as the goalkeeper with the most penalty saves in Atlas history.
In this way, since the Antioquia goalkeeper David Ospina has not been called up, Camilo Vargas has earned the merit of replacing him and playing the next matches against Korea and Japan. In addition, of the three goalkeepers under consideration, Vargas is the one with the most experience in the Colombian National Team.
When will David Ospina play again?
According to Bolavip, David Ospina could return to play for Al Nassr in May after having recovered from the elbow injury. Despite the fact that the Colombian was having a good performance in the Arab team, where he arrived after his time at Napoli in Italy, where he excelled, he decided to accept a million-dollar offer to play in Saudi Arabia.
Due to the injury that has forced him to a long recovery process, the goalkeeper has been absent in several matches for the national team under the command of Néstor Lorenzo. Despite this, the player has received praise from Cristiano Ronaldo since his arrival at the club this season, following his departure from Manchester United due to differences with the manager. If the goalkeeper manages to return to the courts soon, he could have the opportunity to play alongside Ronaldo.
