The World Cup winner with Argentina has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will be out for the rest of the season. River Plate defender German Pezzella, world champion with Argentina in Qatar 2022, has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, according to the medical report released by the club on Sunday.
Following medical tests carried out on the player after he was injured on Saturday during a match in the Argentine league, the serious nature of the injury was confirmed, with the player expected to take between six and eight months to recover.
This complicates the situation for River Plate in the Copa Libertadores, which returns this week with the first leg of the round of 16.
