The Ukrainian midfielder did not complete the Champions League home match against Dutch Feyenoord.
Girona lost for the second time in a row in the main round of the Champions League. This time at our very own Montilivi stadium in Catalonia. The rival of the Spanish team is Feyenoord. The game ended with a score of 3:2 in favor of the team from the Netherlands.
Catalan and Ukrainian fans were further upset by the injury of Viktor Tsygankov, who was in the starting lineup. In the 29th minute, the Ukrainian was injured and replaced by Arnaud Danjuma.
After the game, Girona head coach Michel Sanchez commented on the midfielder’s injury.
“It doesn’t seem very encouraging that an examination is injured, every centimeter can affect it, like Blind and Romeu, but we will have a full team,” Marca quotes the coach as saying.
Meanwhile, the famous sports doctor Dmitry Babelyuk gave his assessment of Tsygankov’s injury and named the possible time frame for the winger’s recovery.
“Considering that this particular injury has bothered the player since the Euros and that he only recovered at the end of August, this can be interpreted as a comeback.
Common mechanism for this injury: sprinting + muscle strain (reaching for the ball).
Victor is an experienced and smart player, so his reaction shows. The winger left the field, understanding the nature of the injury and the estimated time he would miss.
At least, you should recover from such an injury within three weeks. Although it is a first-degree injury, Victor will be able to return to the field no earlier than October 23.
True, due to the repetitive nature of the injury, it is worth a longer time for a more reliable recovery,” wrote Babelyuk.
Note that this season Tsygankov played eight matches for the club, where he scored one goal and made one assist.
Victor received a call to the Ukrainian national team for the October matches of the Nations League, in which he is unlikely to play.
We remind you that Shakhtar lost to Italian Atalanta in the second round of the Champions League.
