Ukrainian Forward Artem Dovbik Injured Ahead of Key Matches
In a recent La Liga clash, Girona faced Real Sociedad, resulting in a goalless draw. Unfortunately for the team, they played without their Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbik, who was sidelined due to a knee injury.
Sources indicate that Dovbik may have sustained a meniscus injury during a training session prior to the match. Should medical examinations confirm this diagnosis, he faces the possibility of missing the remainder of the season, a substantial setback for both him and the club.
Speaking to Tribuna, Dovbik acknowledged the concerns surrounding his meniscus, but he remains optimistic about a swift recovery. While typical rehabilitation for a meniscus tear usually takes around a month, there are rumors suggesting that his absence from the pitch might extend beyond this timeframe, although such claims may be exaggerated.
Sports physician Dmitry Babeleik commented on the situation, stating that a return to action following a meniscus tear is possible within a month; however, he cautioned that a longer recovery period cannot be ruled out.
As Girona prepares for the challenges ahead, the potential loss of Dovbik, a key player in their squad, raises concerns about their offensive capabilities in crucial upcoming fixtures. The team and its supporters will be eagerly awaiting updates on Dovbik’s condition as they strive to maintain their competitive edge in the league.
