Mauro Icardi is not expected to play again this season after rupturing the cruciate ligament in his right knee. Exited with an injury at the end of the Europa League match against Tottenham this Thursday, the Argentine striker from Galatasaray will be sidelined for several months.
Hard blow for Galatasaray. The Süper Lig leader will have to deal without Mauro Icardi for the end of the season. The former PSG striker was injured at the end of the match against Tottenham in the Europa League this Thursday (3-2).
“A rupture of the anterior ligament of the right knee and an injury to the meniscus have been detected. The pre-operative rehabilitation of our player, whose operation is planned, has begun,” his club said in a press release. “We are confident that he will come back stronger than before,” added the leader of the Turkish championship this Friday morning on X.
Another star at the forefront of the attack
Icardi was leaving for a third year in the colors of Galatasaray, after a complicated departure from PSG in 2022. The Argentinian’s start to the season started well with 6 goals and an assist in 14 games.
The Istanbul club can still count on Victor Osimhen to take the reins of its attack. Arriving in September, the Nigerian already has 6 goals and 3 assists in 8 matches.
After its victory against Tottenham, the Turkish club is third in the Europa League with 10 points. His next European meeting will be November 28 against AZ Alkmaar.
