Dramatic update on Omar Pires: triple knee rupture, season over | OneFootball

The promotion football scene is in shock after the severity of Omar Pires’ injury, the playmaker and star of Deportivo Español, was confirmed. During the 1-1 draw against Luján in Primera C, the footballer came down with the full weight of his body on his left leg while trying to challenge for the ball. Images of Pires leaving the stadium in tears and devastated had already suggested the worst, something the medical tests ultimately confirmed with a chilling diagnosis.

The official medical report confirmed a triple knee tear: a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, the patellar tendon, and the lateral meniscus in his left leg. In addition, the midfielder suffered an injury to his hamstring muscle, making for an extremely complex clinical picture. Due to the extent of the damage, his recovery is expected to take around a year, meaning he would only be able to play again in 2027.
