A Real Madrid star has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament as reported by AS, citing anonymous sources.
The same injury has left out three heavyweights of the first team, either for the 2023/2024 season.
While Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao had the advantage on the opening day against Athletic Club, but fortunately returned in time to seal the La Liga and Champions League titles in the spring, David Alaba has still not recovered from his setback of December. . As a result, he missed Euro 2024 with Austria.
Madrid’s preseason debut brought a new face to what is one of the most serious injuries that a footballer – and especially a winger – can suffer.
What was possibly a dream come true for the player César Palacios temporarily turned into a nightmare.
Although he made his senior debut for Los Blancos after coming on as a substitute early in the second half in the 1-0 loss to AC Milan in Chicago, he felt a crunch 4 minutes later after a tough challenge from Malick Thiaw.
Palacios managed to get out of Soldier Field alone, and the fact that he realized he was casually chatting on the bench with his teammates made it seem like there was no immediate drama.
However, in the post-match press conference, coach Carlo Ancelotti sowed pessimism saying: “It doesn’t look good”, and now the worst fears have manifested, according to AS.
Palacios tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and is expected to return to Spain, where he will undergo additional tests upon landing.
His team will also have to decide whether he deserves to go under the knife and undergo surgery or not, but the severity of the rupture will determine whether the 18-year-old has a say in the matter.
Given the amount of skill Ancelotti has, staying in the first team would have been difficult for Palacios to move on.
The cruelest thing is that they have not even had the chance to impress and Raúl’s reserve team at Castilla has also lost its left-back.
AS explains that Palacios has a reputation for being positive, hard-working and humble.
He was about to leave the Spanish capital in the summer to sign for Athletic Club de Bilbao, but now everything is in the background, and the player could miss the entire next crusade due to his bad news.
