A doctor has delivered a very worrying diagnosis concerning Mouctar Diakhaby, victim of a serious knee injury against Real Madrid last weekend.
The image sends shivers down your spine. During the draw between Valencia and Real Madrid (2-2), Saturday evening in La Liga, Mouctar Diakhaby was seriously injured following involuntary contact with Aurélien Tchouaméni, resulting in a dislocation of the knee and a probable rupture of his several ligaments.
If the end of the 27-year-old defender’s season is already over, he might no longer even be able to play football again one day, according to doctor Enrique Gastaldi. “ It is the most serious knee injury you can sustain. “, he confided to the microphone of Cadena Ser.
“The first thing to look for is that he can walk”
“The first thing to look for is that he can walkcontinued the doctor. Injuries must be studied in depth and quantified. It is necessary to see which ligaments are affected and ensure that there are no subsequent complications. When the knee dislocates, the bone moves out of place. This means breaking the ligaments. Once they are ruptured, the possibility of vascular injury must be ruled out because when the bone comes out it can tear the popliteal artery. »
Monday, Mouctar Diakhaby gave his news on X (formerly Twitter). “ I would like to thank you all for the many messages of support I received yesterday after the match against Real, it touches me and gives me strength during this ordealhe wrote. I would particularly like to thank my club, as well as all the healthcare staff who took care of me very quickly at the hospital with kindness and compassion. Injuries are unfortunately part of the game and high-level sport. The fight will be long but I am ready for it and I will do my best to return to the field as soon as possible and even stronger. »
