Affected last week in the Euroleague, Frenchman Guerschon Yabusele suffered a serious injury to his left knee. The Real Madrid player could therefore be absent for several months.

For a few days now, Real Madrid and the French team have been holding their breath. Indeed, the verdict is in for Guerschon Yabusele following his injury last week in the Euroleague against Monaco (91-73 victory). Hit in the left knee against the “Roca Team”, the French interior suffers from a “partial tear of the internal lateral ligament” according to the examinations carried out a few days ago. “Development pending”, we can also read in the Real Madrid press release, which does not specify how long the former Boston Celtics player will be absent. It must be said that depending on the severity of the injury, Yabusele’s convalescence period will be more or less long. However, for now, the Spanish club seems to be waiting a little longer before making a decision going forward. However, the interior of the Blues (27 years old) should a priori miss a few weeks, or even probably a few months of competition.

Collet: “He has to hang on”

A hard blow for the player obviously but also for his club and the French team. “ An injury like this is always very annoying. Indeed, it’s a hard blow. The season is long and we know that even if we already have ideas of what the team could be next year, that’s in eight months. And in eight months, we must indeed always fear that this type of situation could happen again. He has to hang on. We saw in rugby that Anthony Jelonch was still able to play in the World Cup after a major injury. Here, it’s still only November 20, so we really have to hope that he can heal quickly, that things go well and that he can come back », reacted in particular this Monday Vincent Collet, the coach of the Blues, during the NBA Extra show, on beIN Sports. Depending on his unavailability, his participation in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games could unfortunately be called into question.
