Galatasaray has confirmed that their key player, Mauro Icardi, suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during the UEFA Europa League match against Tottenham.
This devastating injury has effectively ended the Argentine forward’s season.
Crucial injury confirmed by MRI scans
In the fourth-week clash of the UEFA Europa League, Icardi sustained a significant injury. After the match, he underwent an MRI scan at Galatasaray’s sponsor hospital, Medicana, which revealed a torn ACL along with meniscus damage.
This injury will prevent Icardi from returning to action for the rest of the season.
Surgery and rehabilitation to begin immediately
Icardi is scheduled for surgery, and rehabilitation has already started to prepare him for the procedure. Due to the severity of the injury, Icardi will not return to action this season, leaving Galatasaray without their top scorer for the rest of the campaign.
Galatasaray will now look for solutions to fill the void left by Icardi’s absence as they continue their push in the Europa League and domestic competitions. This injury presents a major challenge for the club, as they will have to adapt without their top scorer for the remainder of the season.
