Disaster for Parma as €10m buy Frigan suffers serious knee injury | OneFootball

Parma suffered a total disaster after their new signing Matija Frigan tore the anterior cruciate ligament in training, meaning he’ll be out for several months.

A statement from the club confirmed the worst case scenario for their brand new player, who sustained the devastating knee injury during this morning’s session.

He was diagnosed with a sprain of the left knee, with tests later showing the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament.

This type of injury requires surgery and generally between four to six months on the sidelines.

It’s a terrible blow for the 22-year-old Croatian centre-forward, but even more so for the Ducali, who now need to go back on the transfer market to find a replacement.

Frigan had just been purchased last Friday from KVC Westerlo for €9m plus another €1m in add-ons.

He was a big investment for their attack and now will be out of action until at least 2026.
