Devastating injury update on Omar Pires: triple knee tear, season over | OneFootball

Lower-division football is in shock after the severity of Omar Pires’ injury, the attacking midfielder and standout player for Deportivo Español, was confirmed. During the 1-1 draw against Luján in Primera C, the player came down with all his body weight on his left leg while trying to challenge for the ball. The images of Pires leaving the stadium in tears and devastated foreshadowed the worst, something the medical tests ultimately confirmed with a chilling diagnosis.

The official medical report confirmed a triple knee tear: a torn anterior cruciate ligament, patellar tendon, and lateral meniscus in his left leg. In addition, the midfielder suffered a hamstring injury, 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 may not be able to play again until 2027.
