The breakage of cruciate ligament This is unfortunately becoming one of the most common injuries of the season. There have been countless cases so far this season, including those of Rodri Hernández and Dani Carvajal. Two more were added to this long list of footballers on Saturday: Eder Militao And Ilias Akhomash. The latest confirmed case is that of the Villarreal player, who left in tears during the match against Alavés, shortly after scoring.
The whole Groguet confirmed on Sunday morning what had already been anticipated since his exit on a stretcher during the match. “Ilias Akhomach suffers from a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament and a sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee,” said the medical report issued by Villarreal.
That of Ilias This is one more victim due to what seems to be an epidemic that is shaking the world of football this year. He is the sixth player affected this season in the League by a torn anterior cruciate ligament, after Hamari Traoré, Marc Bernal, Dani Carvajal, Thierry Correia And Eder Militao the same thing happened to them. The six, obviously, said goodbye to the entire season. We must also not forget the Madrid youth team. Joan Martinez, that until he was injured it mattered to Ancelotti.

Added to these serious injuries are those of Marc André ter Stegen And Orjan Nyland. Both goalkeepers didn’t break their cruciate muscles, but they suffered very serious knee problems that will keep them sidelined the rest of the way. The Barça goalkeeper has a ruptured patellar tendon, while the Sevilla goalkeeper tore the external knee ligament.
The rupture of the crusaders, a scourge in Europe
The data is very alarming, since only a third of the season is over. But they are even more worrying if we take into account what is happening in the rest of the major European championships. The situation is critical since there has been a total 27 cross fractures between the Spanish, English, Italian, German and French championships.
The Bundesliga has the privilege of being the one with the fewest players affected by this increasingly common disease in football, since only the cruciate has been broken. Promel, from Hoffenheim. In the Premier League, the already known Rodri, Wolverhampton players join Yerson Mosque And Enso Gonzalez.
The situation is more dramatic, if possible, in Italy. There, in the series A, Up to nine players were affected by the crusade. It is about Duvan Zapata And Ilkhan (Turin), Circates And Kowalski (Parma), Bream (Juventus), Sazonov (Empoli), Cambiaghi (Bologna), Scamaca (Atalanta) and Florence (Milan).
The same situation occurs in French football. Since the summer, there have been nine more footballers than League 1 who wounded their crusader. Olympique de Marseille is injured Carboni And Moumbagna, while they were also affected Tiago Santos (Lille), Satrien (Lens), Kadra (Reims), Ngoso (Montpellier), Coulibaly (Auxerre), Centonze (Nantes) and Moffi (Good).
Faced with this situation, several voices are being raised to demand a reduction in the timetable. Two of these footballers who spoke about it are precisely Rodri And Carvajal, both before being seriously injured. At the time, there was speculation about the possibility of a strike, which is by no means excluded. Even more so when we take into account that the Crusader Plague continues to grow at a speed never seen before.
