To the ‘queen’s chair’, unable to walk and helped by his teammates and by players from the rival team. that was how José Raya, closing of Movistar Inter, left the pitch of the Palau d’Esports de Alzira in the final of Spanish Super Cup against Barça. When barely a minute of play had elapsed, the man from Granada grabbed his right knee due to poor support, with serious gestures of pain, and this Monday, the worst fears have been confirmed…
The medical tests carried out at the Cemtro Clinic revealed that Raya suffers a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, an injury that in most cases, and although the club does not speak of time off in its official medical report, is around 6 or 7 months off. If confirmed, the interista closure would be lost for the remainder of the season. “The player José Raya suffered a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Don Pedro Guillén will intervene and our closure will be accompanied by Jose Prieto, the club’s physiotherapist. We will keep you informed”, Movistar Inter published on their social networks.
A real pity for the player, since two years ago he already overcame another long-term injury when in a league match suffered a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee, coincidences of fate, also against Barça. There is no choice but to come back even stronger.
