Sparta’s Injury Crisis Deepens Ahead of Crucial Matches
The Czech football powerhouse, Sparta Prague, is facing a critical juncture as they fight through a mounting injury crisis. A recent announcement revealed a staggering list of missing players for their upcoming match, leaving coach Lars Friis scrambling for solutions.
Among the absentees is Slovakian midfielder Lukáš Haraslín. After making a brief return against Atletico Madrid, Haraslín sustained another hamstring injury in the first half, furthering doubts about his availability for the remainder of the year.
"We won’t see Lukáš again in 2024," admitted Friis, expressing concern about the player’s long-term prognosis.
The situation worsened during the Dukla Prague match when midfielder Matěj Ryneš suffered a right ankle injury and had to be stretchered off the field. While Friis couldn’t confirm the severity of Ryneš’ injury, he noted, "It doesn’t look good, but I can’t say more now."
These absences come at a particularly crucial time for Sparta, who are currently struggling to regain their footing and are seeing their Champions League hopes dwindle.
"It was toothless; they didn’t have many opportunities," Dukla’s Tomáš Vondrášek commented on Sparta’s performance. "Yes, they have very strong players on the ball, but I had no idea when they would break us down. That may not be enough from Sparta. I don’t want to disparage us, we defended well, but you can see how they miss Haraslín and Birmančević."
Friis offered a glimmer of hope, declaring that reinforcements could be on the bench as soon as the next league match against Aníbal Karviná. He expects further returnees in the following matches against Bohemia and Jablonec. However, whether these players will be fully recovered and ready for full matches remains to be seen.
The impact of these injuries is undeniable. Sparta’s upcoming Champions Leagueogre match against Feyenoord will be a significant test, and the team will need to find a way to navigate this challenging period and overcome their injury woes.
