The former Colo Colo midfielder missed his team’s first three games and there is still no specific date for his return. The sporting director of his squad has clarified the situation.
The 24/25 season is not starting in the best way for Jordhy Thompson. The former Colo Colo player went from being a regular player in Orenburg to being marginalized in the first team at the start of the season. A controversial decision that comes from the state in which the player returned from his vacation and which was further complicated by a stubborn muscle injury that does not seem to leave him alone.
The first surprise was when Thompson was not among the squad for the first match of the Russian league, where his team beat Spartak Moscow 2-0, one of the most successful teams in the European country. On that occasion, the explanation for the 19-year-old’s absence was due to the fact that he had not arrived physically fit for the team’s pre-season. David Deogracia, the Spanish coach of Orenburg, decided for the same reason that the Chilean would be subjected in these weeks to a special diet, doing specific work with a physical trainer and doing, among other things, swimming exercises.
But today, a muscle injury prevents him from participating in his team’s work. He has already spent three days without being able to say that he was present in Orenburg. According to Dmitry Andreec, sports director of the Russian team, the footballer is recovering. “We hope that Jordhy Thompson will recover in 10 days… had a relapse and sprained the back of his thigh “, the coach said about the absence of the national team for the matches against FC Akron Tolyatti and Lokomotiv Moscow .
In the spotlight for his return to his ex-partner
During the last week, it was learned that the former Colo Colo had once again entered into a relationship with Camila Sepúlveda, whom he had raped several times in 2023, which led to him being formally charged with the crime and even being placed in preventive detention. He left this condition after paying a bail of one million dollars.
After his release from prison, the footballer went to Russia alone, to play in Orenburg. A few months after his departure for Europe, it was confirmed that he was now accompanied by Sepúlveda. The news of the couple’s coexistence was confirmed by the institution to which the player belongs. “Thompson returned and his girlfriend arrived. She is here with him, maybe they will get married and the problems will disappear. Now he lives with him in Orenburg,” sports director Dmitry Andreev revealed to the RB Sports website. “Everything was a little different from how it was presented in the media. She wrote a statement against him, but it’s a different mentality, we’ll see how it goes,” added the club’s top executive.
Now, the one speaking is Norma Dávila, a mother from Antofagasta. In dialogue with LUN, the woman claims to be against the decisions made by her son. “He told me he had come back to her. I told him not to do it, because it was wrong. It is bad because the same thing that happened could happen, or even something worse could happen,” she established.
In the same vein, Dávila regrets that Thompson does not listen to the recommendations she gives him. “After finding out, I was speechless. I’m sad, I’m angry, but hey, that’s how children are when they grow up. They don’t listen to advice and become stubborn,” he noted.
