A chilling injury. While Genoa was battling Venezia (2-0) in the 5th day of Serie A, Ruslan Malinovskyi caused serious concern by suffering an abnormal twist of his right ankle on a trivial action. As a result, the player who played for Olympique de Marseille was forced to be evacuated on a stretcher before being rushed to hospital. The day after the incident, the Griffons gave news of the Ukrainian international, who went under the knife this Sunday morning.
“Player Ruslan Malinovskyi underwent surgery on his right ankle this morning. The operation, performed by Professor Federico Santolini and his team, was a complete success. The player is doing well and will begin his rehabilitation at the Club’s facilities in the coming days.“, reassured the Ligurian team via an official statement posted on its X account. The 31-year-old midfielder should however miss several months of competition.
