We highlight football players in Europe who are currently recovering from serious injuries.
The list included not only the stars of Milan, Barcelona and Manchester City, but also representatives RPL — They will not be able to play due to injuries until 2025. Injuries are an integral part of football, they are never pleasant, because because of this you can lose your place in the first team or even end your career.
Rodri (Manchester City)
The 28-year-old Spaniard suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, which kept him out of action for a long time. Rodri will definitely not play this season, Pep Guardiola confirmed it yesterday. Given the player’s importance to City, this injury could seriously jeopardize their title defense plans nuclear submarine. Manchester City lost just 11% of their games with Rodri in the lineup, and 24% of their games were lost without him.
Marc-André ter Stegen (Barcelona)
After the total tear of the patellar tendon in his right knee, the German will now have to face a long period of treatment.
The 32-year-old footballer had to be carried off the field on a stretcher during the match with Rayo Vallecano – the goalkeeper will miss about seven months. Meanwhile, the Catalans will have to look for a free agent to replace the German goalkeeper.
Andreas Christensen (Barcelona)
Barcelona have been really unlucky with injuries lately. After playing just 26 minutes in La Liga this season, Christensen has been ruled out with an Achilles tendon injury in his left leg. According to the latest news, he will not return to the field until at least January next year.
Isco (Betis)
The former Real Madrid player managed to restart his career at Betis, performed well at the new club, but was injured in May. I couldn’t recover, I missed the Euro, I planned to return this year, but the recovery didn’t go according to plan: I have to undergo surgery. You’ll be lucky if you get on the field in January. But he managed to get married: crutches did not interfere.
Oscar Bobb (Manchester City)
The young striker had a great pre-season with the Citizens, and fans were hoping that the youngster would take off this season. But Bobb broke his leg during training before the start of the current season. Initially it was thought that the attacker would return to the field in December, but it later became known that Oscar would only be able to take the field next year.
Ismael Bennacer (Milan)
After suffering a calf muscle injury during a match with Algeria, Bennacer underwent surgery. He is expected to be out for at least four months. For Milan it is doubly offensive: just send the players to the national team.
Gavin Bazunu (Southampton)
At the end of last season, the Southampton defender tore his Achilles tendon and that’s exactly how it is when, after recovery, you can lose your place in the first team. Aaron Ramsdale isn’t just going to give up his number one position.
Aaron Hickey (Brentford)
The defender has been going through a tough time lately due to injuries. He hasn’t played since October last year, missed the European Championships and will be out for most of the season. In August, Hickey suffered a new injury during training – the boy is only 22 years old. They predicted a stellar career for him: they wanted to sign the best clubs in Europe, but in the end the young footballer does not leave the hospital… A very offensive story.
Sergei Volkov (Zenit)
If you believe the rumors, St. Petersburg paid about seven million euros for Volkov. And almost immediately: cruciate ligament rupture. And this is the case when your whole career can take a completely different course.
Miroslav Bogosavac + Bernard Berisha (“Akhmat”)
In conclusion, one cannot help but mention “Akhmat”: you will not immediately remember the cases when the team loses two leaders due to an Achilles tendon injury and a subtotal rupture of the cruciate ligament in one match. The players will remember the match against Khimki all their lives, unfortunately… Cheers to all athletes! Hopefully they can return to their previous form upon their return.
