My initial reaction to the news that the 2022 World Cup was being played in the winter was a mix of outrage and annoyance. Fast forward to present day and I along with every other USMNT fan couldn’t be happier that Qatar is hosting a winter tournament. A growing USMNT injury list is the reason.
United States men's national team defender Sergiño Dest is the latest member of the squad to go down with an injury that will put his summer availability for the team in question.
The standout 21-year-old came away with a hamstring injury Sunday while playing for his club team, Barcelona, in a 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano. Dest left the game at halftime.
Injury update!
En el cronograma de México camino al Mundial de Catar aparece un partido amistoso ante Nigeria en el estadio AT&T de Arlington, Texas, que tiene a algunos aficionados del Tri algo intranquilos.
¿La razón? Sobre el césped de aquel recinto deportivo, tres jugadores de la selección sufrieron lesiones terribles y que incluso dejaron sin Mundial a dos de ellos.
Fran Kirby, two-time Women’s Player of the Year in England, is taking an indefinite leave from the game. The Chelsea and England star forward/midfielder missed full year with a heart condition in 2019-20 and will again step away from the sport to focus on her health.
Kirby, 28, made the announcement on social media on Friday evening after Chelsea coach Emma Hayes had ruled her out of the Sunday’s FA Cup semifinal against rival Arsenal.
Concussions are a big topic in American sports with strict protocols in place to avoid athletes suffering severe head injuries. Hell, America has an entire movie literally called “Concussion.” FIFA and UEFA don’t appear to be on the same wavelength as head injuries aren’t taken too seriously. A Phil Foden head injury in the Champions League vs. Atlético Madrid was a prime example.
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Giovanni Reyna has been ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining a muscle and tendon injury, the Bundesliga club said on Sunday.
The American international played only two minutes against Stuttgart in the league on Friday before being substituted as Dortmund went on to win 2-0 thanks to a double from his replacement Julian Brandt.
We apologize in advance for completely ruining your weekend vibes. Young American Gio Reyna is hurt, again. The 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund starlet pulled up injured less than two minutes into his start against Stuttgart on Friday, just weeks after returning from a five-month stint on the sidelines with another injury.
Reyna left the pitch in tears after feeling something go in his right hamstring on his first touch of the night while playing a give-and-go with Thorgan Hazard. The USMNTer was able to walk off under his own power — visibly limping — but was clearly distraught.
Hoy, cuando mires el duelo entre Manchester City y Atlético de Madrid, seguro que extrañarás el rostro de Héctor Herrera.
El mediocampista mexicano le ha dado la vuelta a la temporada. Luego de ser banca casi todo el año, finalmente convenció al técnico Diego Simeone y se ha convertido en una pieza fundamental en la recuperación futbolística de los colchoneros. Sin embargo, ante el City de Pep Guardiola, HH ni siquiera se vestirá de corto.
Hirving Lozano firmó una fantástica asistencia en su regreso al Napoli.
Polonia, rival de México en Catar, podría haber sufrido su primera gran baja para el Mundial 2022: el mediocampista Jakub Moder.
El mediocampista sufrió este fin de semana una lesión en su rodilla derecha, durante el partido de la Premier League entre el Brighton y el Norwich City, y los primeros reportes no son alentadores para el jugador. De acuerdo a los primeros informes, Moder habría sufrido la rotura de ligamento cruzado de la articulación, por lo que entre cirugía y rehabilitación podría perderse la participación de su selección en Catar.
