Abner Felipe Souza de Almeida (born 30 May 1996), simply known as Abner, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Belgian club RWDM.
Born in Londrina, Paraná, Abner finished his formation with Coritiba, after joining the club in 2011 from PSTC. [1] On 3 June 2012, he agreed to a three-year contract, his first professional link. [2] On 18 September 2013, at the age of 17, he made his first team – and Série A – debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Sergio Escudero in a 2–2 home draw against Goiás; it was his only appearance for the club. [3] [4]
In October 2013, shortly after making his professional debut, Abner suffered a serious knee injury, [5] [6] being sidelined for six months. Subsequently, the 40% of his rights belonging to Coxa were sold to a group of businessman, and were assigned to PSTC (which already had 40% of the player). [7]
On 23 July 2014, despite long standing interest from Italian giants Roma, [8] Abner signed for Real Madrid and was assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B. [9] He made his debut for Castilla on 8 August, replacing Javi Noblejas late into a 2–1 loss at Atlético Madrid B. [10]
On 5 September 2014, after only one further match for the B-team, Abner again suffered the same knee injury from the previous year, being sidelined for the campaign. [11] The following 10 July, now fully recovered, he was called up to the main squad by manager Rafa Benítez to feature in the pre-season tours in Australia and China; [12] six days later, however, he was cut from the squad after suffering a setback from his injury. [13]
Abner returned to the fields on 20 September 2015, playing 20 minutes in a 1–0 loss at Real Unión; three days later, he again suffered a serious knee injury during training, being again out for the season. [14] After his third injury, he stated that he "considered leaving football", but Zinedine Zidane, at the time the Castilla manager, encouraged him to keep going. [15]
In 2016–17, Abner managed to feature in 21 league matches without setbacks, as Castilla finished in a disappointing 11th position.
On 20 August 2017, Abner was loaned to Primeira Liga side Estoril, for one year. [16] He made his top tier debut on 10 September, starting in a 2–0 away defeat to Moreirense.
On 26 February 2018, after just ten league matches, Abner's loan was cancelled. [17]
On 3 April 2018, Abner returned to his first club Coritiba on loan from Real Madrid, until 30 June. [18] On 20 July, he extended his link until the end of the year, [19] but opted to leave on 8 December, after 19 league appearances. [20]
On 8 March 2019, Abner was presented at Athletico Paranaense, after agreeing to a loan deal until the end of the year; he was initially assigned to the under-23 squad for the year's Campeonato Paranaense. [21]
In January 2020, Abner was sent on loan to Campeonato Paulista club Água Santa. [22]
In September 2020, Abner signed a three-year contract with Portuguese club Farense. [23]
On 30 June 2023, after his contract with Farense expired, Abner signed a one-year deal with RWDM in Belgium. [24]
Abner represented Brazil at under-17 level at the 2013 South American U-17 Championship [25] and at the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. [26] At the latter tournament, he suffered the first of his three knee injuries in a match against Honduras. [27]
