Luiz Felipe Withdrawal From Olympic Selection

Luiz Felipe's recent season was limited by a serious ankle problem, which he operated on last January and which allowed him to return to the field only for the last of the season. Despite this, the Brazilian central has been called up by Brazil's Olympic selection to participate in the next Olympics. After a period of reflection, however, Ramos has chosen to decline the call.

Luiz Felipe, given the latest injury, does not want to risk further relapses that could compromise his involvement with Lazio. Right now the 1997 class is focused on Biancoceleste and he wants to be ready by Maurizio Sarri for next season.

A difficult decision, but one that shows the boy's willingness to put aside a difficult past due to physical problems, for a future in which he could find greater consistency on the pitch. 

Mr.Sarri bets heavily on Luiz Felipe and could propose him in the back four along with Francesco Acerbi. 

Luiz Felipe has a contract that expires in 2022, but a deal for an extension is ready and just about to be signed.
