This is a huge blow for Thomas Lemar and his club. Holder during Atlético de Madrid’s heavy defeat against Valencia on Saturday (3-0) during the 5th day of La Liga, the former Monegasque was taken out on a stretcher, his hands on his face, before half-time under the applause of Mestalla. And in a press release published this Sunday, the Madrid club gave news of its player, confirming a serious injury.
“Following the examinations carried out on the French player, the medical report from the club’s medical service indicates that he suffers from a rupture of the right Achilles tendon and that he will have to undergo surgery,” certified the club before adding in another press release that he had “fallen back into a bad position”, on an aerial ball.
With this surgical intervention, Thomas Lemar could be absent for six months according to the Spanish press and certainly sees his last chances of playing Euro 2024 with the Blues disappearing. The French international (27 caps) has not worn the tricolor jersey since September 1, 2021 when he played 45 minutes against Bosnia-Herzegovina (1-1), during the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup.
