Vinicius, Son and other players injured during the national break

The football season is currently somewhere around one-third over and already teams are struggling with a high number of injuries. The national break, during which several star players and mainstays of their employers have been injured, has certainly not helped matters. Here’s a list of the biggest stars who got injured during the national break.

Alessandro Bastoni – Italy – Inter Milan

Bastoni is one of the cornerstones of Milan’s squad, which sits at the top of Serie A. The Italian stopper picked up a calf injury while training with the national team.

Fortunately for Italy, it didn’t have fatal consequences, as they still managed to get a 0-0 draw in a crucial match against Ukraine. However, the length of the injury is unclear and Inter have to put someone else in an important position.

Jeremie Frimpong – Netherlands – Bayer 04 Leverkusen

The teammate of Patrik Schick and Adam Hložek also picked up a muscle injury during training with the national team. He plays one of the key roles in the whole Leverkusen team, so the whole Leverkusen is eagerly waiting for the result of the tests and the length of his absence. A possible long-term loss could affect the team’s performance.

Son Heung-Min – South Korea – Tottenham Hotspur FC

Tottenham have had a fanstastically unexpected start to the new season. For a long time, it held the top spot in the Premier League. The change came only in the derby loss to Chelsea, 2 players sent off and injuries to some of the key players.

James Maddison is out for a long time due to an ankle injury, which also befell Son in the Singapore game. It shouldn’t be anything serious, which is what Tottenham are hoping for.

Gavi – Spain – FC Barcelona

The video of Gavi tearing the cruciate ligament in his knee has gone around the world. This season is over for the young midfielder. Barcelona’s management is grossly unhappy that Gavi intervened in the match at all, as Spain had nothing to lose. From other names, you will learn that Barcelona is not the only Spanish club that has lost a player to injury.

Vinicius Jr and Eduardo Camavinga – Brazil and France – Real Madrid

Vinicius was substituted during the 27th minute of the duel with Colombia, which Brazil eventually lost and worse, the injury proved to be serious. The muscle injury will sideline the White Ballet’s biggest star for more than 2 months. No sooner has the Brazilian returned to the team after his injury than Carlo Ancelotti cannot count on him again.

This national break even brought a double loss for Real Madrid. Eduardo Camavinga was also injured, and it was during a training session when he collided with Ousmane Dembélé, who at first laughed at his fall, but when he found out that he had injured his teammate the laughter immediately passed. Camavinga will also miss Real for around 2 months.

Marcus Rashford – England – Manchester United

Erik ten Hag was also worried about his player. Marcus Rashford collided with his teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold in the match against Malta and limped out of the game after the clash. Gareth Southgate informed after the game that it was mainly a precautionary substitution. As the Red Devils squad is being hamstrung by injuries, it is not only the Hag who hopes that nothing serious is involved in Rashford’s case.

Erling Haaland – Norway – Manchester City

The blue side of Manchester is experiencing tension as well. Erling Haaland picked up a renewed ankle injury during the national break, which has plagued him in recent times in club competitions. The Norwegian international picked up the injury in a friendly against Faroe Islands. The news surrounding the seriousness will certainly not let Pep Guardiola sleep.
