A key player from the Romanian national team has been injured and will miss EURO 2024. In fact, the absence will be much greater.
Midfielder Olimpiu Moruțan was injured at the end of the match between Ankaragücü and Beşiktaş.
In the 82nd minute, he collapsed on the field and began screaming in pain, being urgently taken off on a stretcher.
Ankaragücü announced that he suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, so he will be absent for about 6 months, according to coach Emre Belözoğlu.
He will miss the matches at EURO 2024, where he had huge chances of being called up, considering he was an important player in the qualifiers.
In the qualifiers for EURO 2024, Moruțan played in 9 matches and provided 4 assists.
His absence could benefit Ianis Hagi, whose chances of being called up are significantly increasing at this moment.
