Sudakov injury scare: Physiotherapist reveals cause for Benfica star | OneFootball

Georgiy Sudakov is the latest name to appear on the medical report. The Benfica player suffered an injury during the match between Ukraine and Iceland and is unavailable for the clash against Chaves. In the eyes of physiotherapist Rui Faria, the Ukrainian’s problem is minor and he should return quickly.

In an article published in the print edition of the newspaper A Bola, the sports daily spoke with the physiotherapist, who explained the clinical situation of the number 10: “It is a joint at the top of the shoulder that has a protective ligament capsule. I believe what’s at stake is the rupture of some fibers, which led to the acromioclavicular sprain in question.”

Given the clinical information released by the Club of Light, Rui Faria assumes that Sudakov does not have a serious problem: “Since Benfica refers to a mild sprain, I can infer that it is, possibly, a grade 1 dislocation, which is not particularly dangerous.”

As it is an ‘accessory’ joint, the physiotherapist outlines the possible recovery scenario for the Ukrainian: “In these first few days, it is natural for the player to feel discomfort and even some pain, something that can be mitigated with ligament protection that brings the elements of the joint closer together. He should also be medicated, of course.”

Finally, at a time when Georgiy Sudakov’s presence raises major doubts for the clash against Chaves, which he will likely miss, his availability for the match against Newcastle is also uncertain, since, according to the specialist, the footballer will need to be reintegrated into training in a careful and gradual manner.
