The Argentine footballer of Sevilla Alejandro Papu Gomez will undergo an arthroscopy on his right ankle this Friday as a result of the injury he suffered during the Qatar 2022 World Cup. In a shocking post, the former Arsenal de Sarandí and San Lorenzo explained that he gave everything to lift the third World Cup for the albiceleste, but that today is paying the consequences.

“That’s how it all started, I don’t regret anything. I gave my all to win the World Cup and today my ankle is paying for it, but how beautiful was that sacrifice, that same effort that I made to return two months later to Sevilla, trying everything…”, the athlete said along with a series of images in an Instagram post, in which the second photograph stands out, where he shows his ankle with an important inflammation.

The former Atalanta from Italy then added that now “it is time to have surgery because what we did was not enough to improve my ankle. It’s time to shuffle and give again. It will not be easy at all, I will go day by day, with the conviction and tranquility of giving my all as I have always done”. According to the Andalusian media, Papu is expected to be out for approximately five weeks.

Alejandro Gómez was injured during the World Cup and could not be considered by coach Lionel Scaloni in the quarterfinals against the Netherlands, in the semifinals against Croatia and in the final against France. Once in Seville, an MRI was performed, which revealed that he had “an affectation of the deltoid ligament of the right ankle.”

After a recovery period, the 34-year-old footballer returned to the squad for the game two days ago in La Liga, entering the final 20 minutes when entering the field of play for the Brazilian Fernando Reges. However, Papu was then left out of the payroll to travel to Barcelona due to some discomfort in the aforementioned ankle, which made the decision for him to undergo surgery this Friday.

The post did not go unnoticed by Kun Agüero, who wrote: “Come on Papu. Great that you show that and that they see the love we have for football”.
