Krollis faces long absence after suffering torn cruciate ligament
Liberec's Slovan forward Krollis has been diagnosed with a torn cruciate ligament, ruling him out for several months. The club has already begun searching for a replacement.
Czech club FK Slovan Liberec forward Krollis has been diagnosed with a torn cruciate ligament, according to Sportacentrs. He picked up the injury during a league match against Zlin, leaving the pitch in the 60th minute. At first, the club was unsure how serious the injury was, but further examination confirmed the severe diagnosis.
A lengthy recovery
Torn cruciate ligaments typically require a long rehabilitation period, with players usually needing anywhere from six months to a full year before returning to action. This means Krollis is likely to miss the remainder of the current season.
A goalless campaign so far
This season, Krollis had featured in five league matches for Slovan Liberec without scoring a goal. He had already missed the team's previous cup match due to the injury, suggesting the problem had been building for some time.
Club's response
Slovan Liberec's management has already started looking for a new forward to fill the gap left by Krollis during his extended absence, aiming to keep the squad competitive while he recovers.
