Hard blow for  Clément Filho, aka The Chiquiteur Accustomed to humorously sharing his padel adventures, the content creator posted a much less lighthearted message this time. Having suffered a severe sprain on the court, he is in pain.  rupture of two ligaments  and should be away from the slopes for several months.

Six weeks of immobilization for Le Chiquiteur

The accident occurred during a game of padel tennis. After examinations, the diagnosis was made:  rupture of two ligaments .

"It could have been worse, but it's not crazy either," explains Clément Filho on his social media.

For the moment, the announced program includes  six weeks of immobilization while a return to full-intensity sport would not be considered for approximately  three and a half months A schedule that will obviously change depending on his recovery.

This injury comes at a particularly bad time for Le Chiquiteur, who is involved in several sporting projects.

Regional and French Championships compromised

Clément Filho was expected to compete in the  regional championships with Charles Gortz , with the aim of a possible qualification for the  French Championships .

A deadline that he now believes he will have to miss due to his injury.

But that wasn't his only regret. The Chiquiteur had also started to launch himself on the  FIP circuit alongside Jules Marie , a former professional tennis player who is also continuing his adventure in padel.

"Our early career at FIP, which we started with my breakdancer Jules Marie," he recalls with his usual humor.

This injury has therefore put on hold an international adventure that was only just beginning for the duo.

A forced "reset" before returning

Clément Filho now wants to take advantage of this time away from the pitch to fully recover. The content creator admits that he felt the need to take a break, even though he obviously didn't imagine he would have to stop for so long.

"I needed rest, but not that much," he jokes.

The goal now is to  take the necessary time to heal properly before returning to 100% , without rushing things.

Fans of its content can nevertheless rest assured:  The Chiquiteur is not going to disappear from social media His videos will inevitably be different during his recovery, but he fully intends to continue entertaining his community.

The padel courts will therefore have to wait a few months before welcoming back Clément Filho's young players. For now, it's time to recover.
