Galatasaray has officially confirmed that Mauro Icardi sustained a severe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in his right knee during their Europa League clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
The incident, occurring in the 85th minute of Galatasaray's 3-2 victory in Istanbul, resulted in Icardi being stretchered off the pitch, casting a shadow over the team's hard-earned win on Thursday night.
The club's statement further elaborated that Icardi also suffered damage to his meniscus, necessitating surgery. According to Galatasaray, Icardi has already commenced pre-operative rehabilitation in preparation for his upcoming procedure. This injury is a major setback for the team, given Icardi's vital role this season, where he has netted six goals across 13 appearances.
The match itself was a thrilling contest, featuring goals from Yunus Akgün and a double strike from Victor Osimhen that secured Galatasaray's triumph over Tottenham. However, the loss of Icardi, anticipated to sideline him for the remainder of the season, presents a significant challenge for Galatasaray as they push forward in both domestic and European campaigns.
