Miedema confirmed that he is suffering from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament

The worst forecast for Vivianne Miedema. The Arsenal star has announced through his social networks that he has torn his anterior cruciate ligament, a long-term injury that will likely make him miss the next World Cup in Australia and New Zealand that will be held this summer.

“It was one of those moments that I knew right away. Many things crossed my mind: I will not be able to help my team this season, without the World Cup, surgery and rehabilitation”, the striker affirmed.

In his announcement, the player wanted to wink at his teammate, the captain Beth Mead, who is also recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, so he’s preparing for a long recovery.

The Dutch forward had to be carried off on a stretcher in tears during Arsenal’s Women’s Champions League match against Lyon. Miedema fell to the ground and cried out in severe pain in her left knee. It has been confirmed that the operation will take place in the coming days. “It’s been difficult in many difficult days (a lot of crying, we’ve done a lot in the last few days), but unfortunately it’s part of football,” said the Dutch top scorer team.

“Fortunately, I have great teammates, friends and family around me”, said the player, assuring that “we will come back stronger”.

For her part, Beth Meda wrote her a nice message on her Instagram in which she assures that “We will come back stronger.”
