🤕 Blow for Spain, Samu suffers cruciate injury and misses the World Cup | OneFootball

The football world holds its breath following the worrying news coming from Portugal. According to Porto, Samu Omorodion has a knee sprain with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

A Diagnosis That Stuns Porto and the National Team

With the complete rupture of the ligament, Omorodion will have to undergo surgery and face a recovery period of between seven and nine months.

This situation automatically rules him out of the 2026 World Cup, leaving a difficult gap to fill both in his club and in the plans of Luis De La Fuente, who considered him a key piece in the offense.

The Impact of a Significant Loss

The news has come as a cold shower to the player's environment, who was experiencing one of the best moments of his career.

Samu's power and scoring ability were one of the great hopes for the tournament; however, now the focus shifts radically towards his long-term health.
