The midfielder of Dynamo Kyiv and the Ukrainian national team will remember the unsuccessful match against Fenerbahce for a long time.
Not Dynamo’s day in the Europa League. In addition to the fact that the Kyiv club lost the opening match of the Fenerbahce tournament, the team may lose one of its leaders for a long time.
Midfielder Nikolai Shaparenko was injured and could not leave the field on his own. Official information from the capital team about the injury has not yet been received, but it is unlikely to be happy.
The former doctor of Lviv Rukh Dmitry Babelyuk commented on the moment when the 23-year-old football player was injured. According to the expert, the player tore his cruciate ligaments.
“And here is the mechanism of Nikolai’s injury:
When the ball is picked up, all weight is transferred to the supporting left leg. The knee at this point gets a pathological valgus deviation (when the knee moves inward).
This is a typical mechanism for tearing the anterior cruciate ligament,” explained Babelyuk.
If this diagnosis is confirmed, the player risks being out of the game for a long time and may not be able to help Dynamo this season. Recall that Dynamo Kyiv suffered the first defeat in history from Fenerbahce, conceding the decisive goal in stoppage time for the match.
