Real Madrid announced in an official statement on Monday that Franco Mastantuno has suffered a muscle injury and will miss the Champions League match against Liverpool.
According to the statement, Mastantuno was diagnosed today with a sports hernia (groin pain) and will be sidelined indefinitely.
A groin injury is one of the worst injuries for players, especially young ones, as it is a chronic problem that can cause complications if not treated properly. He will now work with the medical staff to find the best treatment, ensuring he experiences no pain upon his return to the pitch.
Mastantuno’s injury is the same one that Lamine Yamal suffered two months ago while on international duty with Spain. Yamal has been experiencing pain that has affected his performance, and Real Madrid’s medical staff wants to proceed cautiously and patiently with his recovery to prevent further complications that could necessitate surgery.
Mastantonu is one of Real Madrid’s most important players this season, along with Xabi Alonso, having participated in 12 matches between La Liga and the Champions League, during which he scored one goal and made another assist.
