🤕 Juan Foyth undergoes Achilles tendon surgery | OneFootball

Villarreal CF has confirmed that their captain, Juan Foyth, underwent surgery this Monday, January 26, for a rupture of the Achilles tendon in his left leg.

This setback leaves the "Yellow Submarine" without one of its most important defensive pillars for the remainder of the season, right at a decisive stage of the championship.

The news is tough for both the player and Argentina, who, barring any surprises, will lose him for the 2026 World Cup. This is despite the fact that he has been a name used by Scaloni in recent call-ups.

The Villarreal Statement

"Juan Foyth underwent surgery this Monday for the rupture of the Achilles tendon in his left leg, which occurred during the match against Real Madrid.

The procedure, performed by doctors Mikel Sánchez and Antonio Maestro, was carried out at the MiKS Hospital in Vitoria, in the company and under the supervision of Villarreal CF’s Medical Services."
