Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus of the right knee they were a significant blow for Mauro Icardi and Galatasaray, who in an instant lost one of their top players for the rest of the season. The serious injury, sustained in the Europa League match against Tottenham, puts the former Inter Argentine striker out of action, and the doctor of the Turkish team from Istanbul, Doctor Yener Ince, wanted to take stock of the situation, as per the interview taken from beIN Sports.
“When the anterior cruciate ligament ruptures, it is necessary to wait a period of time before preparing for the operation. We will wait for this period. After the reduction of the bone edema in the knee, we will organize the operation. Icardi walks, but many have circulated speculation that perhaps his (Icardi’s) ligament had not ruptured. Galatasaray is a very serious club, we will not make statements that could mislead our fans.”
Concerns about walking over torn cruciate ligament, leaving home stadium Rams Park: “The severity of the injury and the bone and intra-articular edema in the knee vary from player to player. Some may have difficulty walking, but in most cases walking is not hindered. The fact that Icardi was able to walk that day doesn’t mean the ligament wasn’t torn. I wish that wasn’t the case, but the ligament was torn…along with a meniscus tear. There is also damage to the posterolateral compartment of the knee. surgery is necessary, and we will plan it.”
