MADRID, 17 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The striker and captain of Real Sociedad, Mikel Oyarzabal, will not play for the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury on Thursday that will make him undergo surgery and could even cause him to miss the World Cup in Qatar with the Spanish selection.
The player hurt his joint during morning training in Zubieta and medical tests confirmed the worst predictions. “In the imaging tests carried out, a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament can be seen. He will undergo surgery in the coming weeks,” said the Gipuzkoan club.
In this way, Real Sociedad will be deprived of a key player for the decisive stretch of the campaign, where their presence is being played out next year in European competitions. In addition, given the period of loss that the striker could face, his presence in the World Cup in Qatar, which begins in eight months, could be seriously compromised.
