The FIFA Days period is truly a nightmare for the players as well as the home club. Most recently, Barcelona confirmed that young midfielder Gavi will be out for nearly a year due to an injury suffered in the Spanish national team.
In addition to Gavi, Vinicius, Haaland, Camavinga, Zaire-Emery, Onana, Bastoni and Ter Stegen are other notable players injured during FIFA Days this November.
And more worryingly, the FIFA Days in November are not over yet. matches in the EURO 2024 qualifiers and the 2026 World Cup qualifiers will still take place. This means clubs will have to pray for their stars to return in the safest way.
As mentioned above, Gavi will miss the entire season this year due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. The Barcelona player was injured in the match against Georgia and is likely to miss EURO 2024 as well as the Olympics.
Another Barcelona player who was injured during the national team training session this time is Ter Stegen. It was Germany coach Nagelsmann who confirmed that the Barca goalkeeper had a back injury but not too serious.
Real Madrid also suffered the same fate as Barcelona in the case of Vinicius. The Brazilian winger was injured in the match between Brazil and Colombia.
Medical tests have confirmed that the injury will keep Vinicius out for nearly three months. This means the player will say goodbye to 2023 and almost miss the Spanish Super Cup.
Carlo Ancelotti will also not be able to rely on Camavinga for the rest of 2023. During practice, the Real Madrid player collided with Ousmane Dembele. Real later confirmed that Camavinga had an external ligament tear in his right knee.
The Premier League has also seen a series of injured stars during this FIFA Days. Erling Haaland, a Man City striker, left the Norwegian national team after suffering an ankle injury in the match against the Faroe Islands. Pep Guardiola's team will have an important match against Liverpool this weekend and are holding their breath waiting for news of Haaland's health.
In addition, Man United will also see the absence of goalkeeper Andre Onana. He had to leave the Cameroonian team after suffering a shoulder injury in the match against Mauritius.
In Serie A, Inter Milan also faced a difficult problem with the injury of Alessandro Bastoni. The centre-back has to leave the Italian national team early due to a strain in his right calf and Inter will conduct more tests to see the extent of the injury.
Meanwhile, young star Zaire-Emery will remember his first match against the French team in a mixed and sad way. PSG's "precious gem" is only 17 years old and suffered an ankle tear in the match against Gibraltar. This is an injury that will keep him out until 2024.
