After turning down Benfica, Diego Moreira faces tough times at Strasbourg | OneFootball

Diego Moreira Jr. will be forced to stop due to a problem. According to reports, the young footballer, who refused to renew with Benfica in 2023, will be absent from the pitch for a certain period of time, due to an injury he recently suffered.

According to the French press, the young Belgian international will be unavailable for Strasbourg due to an ankle sprain. The same source reveals that the absence of the player, who was developed at Benfica, is sounding the alarm bells at the French club.

Absent for a period that could reach up to a month, this is a significant loss for Strasbourg’s coach, Gary O'Neill, since Diego Moreira is one of the most influential players in the squad that has been making waves in this edition of Ligue 1.

After his great performance against Lyon, where he broke the record of Paulo Fonseca’s club, the under-19 international already knows he will miss some Strasbourg matches, which include the French Cup quarter-final match against Reims, and the clashes against Rijeka, counting for the round of 16 of the Conference League.

This season, playing for Strasbourg, Diego Moreira Jr. - valued at 18 million euros - has already played a total of 33 official matches: 23 in Ligue 1, seven in the Conference League, and three in the French Cup.
