In the match of the fifth round of the Italian championship “Venice” – “Genoa” (2:0) Ruslan Malinovsky received a serious injury and could not continue the fight. The Ukrainian was carried off the field on a stretcher.
A well-known sports doctor, Dmytro Babelyuk, said that the Ukrainian probably avoided the worst scenario – an ankle fracture. Malinovsky has torn ankle ligaments and sprained the ankle joint.
Assuming a successful operation and further rehabilitation, the Ukrainian will need three months to recover. Further, much will depend on the physical form and psychological state of the player.
Thus, Malinovsky is unlikely to play in the October matches of the League of Nations against Georgia and the Czech Republic.
