Bad news for Mauro Icardi and Galatasaray. The Argentine striker suffered a serious injury during Galatasaray's 3-2 victory over Tottenham in the Europa League. The match, valid for the fourth round of the competition, saw Icardi leave the pitch following a violent tackle that immediately raised concerns among his teammates and fans.
The Turkish club confirmed the seriousness of the injury with an official statement published on their website. “MRI scans revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament in my right knee and damage to the meniscus,” we read in the note. “Surgery has been planned for our player, and in the meantime his pre-operative rehabilitation has begun.”
Icardi's injury represents a significant loss for the Galatasaray, who was counting on his performances in the European field. The Argentine striker, leader of the team and protagonist of the season, will be forced to a long layoff. In fact, a torn cruciate ligament usually requires several months of recovery and intense rehabilitation before being able to play again.
