In the recently concluded La Liga Matchday 6 fixture, Girona played out a 1-1 away draw against Athletic Bilbao. Donny van de Beek sustained an injury without physical contact in the 33rd minute of the game and was substituted off; the midfielder is likely to have suffered a severe Achilles tendon rupture.
The Dutchman’s injury occurred to the Achilles tendon of his left heel. Notably, back in May this year, Van de Beek had just undergone surgery on his left heel and was sidelined for nearly 4 months. This match marked only his second appearance of the season, yet he has once again suffered a major injury to the same area.
