This Saturday, November 4, 2023, playing against Atalanta Bergamo, Benjamin Pavard was seriously injured and was taken out on a stretcher. The verdict has just fallen for the Blue: the former Bayern Munich player, who now plays in Milan, has was the target of violent contact to the knee, which caused him to dislocate his kneecap. According to various Italian sources relayed by The Parisian this Monday, the first radiological examinations carried out by Rachel Legrain-Trapani’s ex leave no room for doubt as to the brutality of the impact: as a result, the 27-year-old footballer will have to remain immobilized for several weeks, and will be kept away from the field. New radiological examinations will make it possible to refine the diagnosis in the coming hours, and limit the duration of the footballer’s immobilization.
A disillusionment for the young man, who was expected around the corner by Didier Deschamps. The Blues coach was counting on him for the Euro 2024 qualifiers, since two meetings are scheduled for November 18 and 21, against Gibraltar for the first, and against Greece for the second. Ideally, Benjamin Pavard should be kept away from the field for a maximum of a month and a half. The first examinations reassured Benjamin Pavard’s entourage, since surgical intervention was ruled out. Indeed, the footballer’s cruciate and collateral ligaments were not affectedAnd, de factothe injury will be shorter.
The diagnosis has not yet been clearly established by doctors, who hesitate between two fairly similar diagnoses: a sub-luxation for the first, and a dislocation for the second. In either case, normal and patient conservative therapy is preferred. Convalescence is approximately the same, and varies between six to eight weeks, provided that Benjamin Pavard scrupulously respects medical advice. In all likelihood, the footballer will not return to football fields before 2024 !
