Could Youri Tielemans miss Euro 2024? A month and a half before the competition, the Red Devil was injured this Saturday.
This Saturday, Aston Villa suffered two hard blows against Chelsea: Youri Tielemans and Emiliano Martinez came off, one in the 27th minute, the other at half-time. Two indisputable starters for the Villains, while the club is well placed in the Premier League and will play in the semi-finals of the Conference League.
On the Belgian side, we are of course trembling for Youri Tielemans. The Red Devil held his groin before his exit, and Euro 2024 starts in a month and a half. Unai Emery gave a vague update regarding his players, but will not know more until this Sunday.
“We will test Martinez and Tielemans tomorrow (read this Sunday, nda). I don’t know exactly what it is. But if they are not available for one, two, three weeks, we will have to accept it”, resigned the Aston Villa coach in comments relayed by the Birmingham Mail.
Back just before Euro 2024?
If Tielemans suffered a torn groin, his absence can be broadly estimated at between 2 and 6 weeks. Regardless, it seems clear that the Belgian will miss some very important matches, including the double clash in Europe against Olympiakos.
But if he were to miss between a month and a month and a half of competition, Youri Tielemans would miss the entire end of the season and would barely return for the Euro, where Domenico Tedesco will probably make him a starter. A hard blow, therefore, for the coach. Recently, Tielemans scored twice in the spectacular 2-2 draw at Wembley against England.
