🚨Breaking: Spain lose key striker for the World Cup | OneFootball

The football world is holding its breath after worrying news from Portugal. According to Porto, Samu Omorodion has suffered a knee sprain with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

A diagnosis that paralyzes Porto and the National Team

With a complete ligament tear, Omorodion will have to undergo surgery and face a recovery period of between seven and nine months.

This situation automatically rules him out of the 2026 World Cup, leaving a void that will be difficult to fill both at his club and in the plans of Luis De La Fuente, who considered him a key piece in the attack.

The impact of a significant absence

The news has come as a cold shower to those around the player, who was going through one of the best moments of his career. Samu's power and goal-scoring ability were among the great hopes for the tournament; however, the focus now shifts radically to his long-term health.
