Bad luck struck the striker of Getafe Borja Mayoral. Last Saturday, in a completely fortuitous play in the second half against Las Palmas, he injured his left knee. Although the Madrid native initially tried to continue, he eventually had to be replaced. This Monday they will do the definitive tests, but the first scans indicate a possible meniscus tear in his left knee.
Although it is excluded that the cruciate ligament is affected, which will be worse, this injury will mean a significant period of inactivity: about two or three months. It means that the Getafe forward, second top scorer in the league with 14 goals behind Bellingham and the first Spaniard ahead of Álvaro Morata, bid farewell to a more than likely call-up from Luis de la Fuente for the national team ahead of the two matches at the end of the month against Colombia and Brazil.
The Madrid native is included in the pre-list sent by the Rioja coach to all clubs and from which the list will be released that will be delivered next Friday, March 15. This is an important blow, not only thinking about this list, but especially since this is the chance to even be included in the list of players to attend the European Championship in Germany this coming summer. Now his goal should be to recover to reach the final stage of the League with Getafe, who can fight for Europe, and know whether to finally be included in the final list of players chosen by the national coach.
