Nico Paz had to leave the field during the match against Lazio. The way he left her foreshadowed the worst.
More fear than harm for Nico Paz! The Spanish-Argentinian received good news after yesterday’s scare against Lazio. According to
Markthe first examinations of the player’s ankle rule out a rupture and everything indicates that it is a serious sprain.
He will undergo further tests in the coming days when the swelling has gone down, but the injury is not as serious as initially feared.
For now, there is no established length of unavailability and everything will depend on the player’s development, but he is expected to be out for at least two weeks, which is the duration minimal for this type of injury which results in significant twisting of the joint.
The tackle on Nico Paz viewed by VAR
Gigot’s tackle was reviewed by the VAR, who considered that the latter did not deserve a red card because the defender was aiming for the ball. It was also not a penalty, as the player did not cross the line of the penalty area.
The player, who Real Madrid is monitoring closely, had to leave the field without being able to rest his foot and with obvious signs of pain, but he woke up this morning feeling much better.
Real Madrid have a buyout clause on Nico Paz and would pocket 50% of a possible sale of the attacking midfielder from Como.
