Batshuai may miss the 2018 World Cup
Chelsea striker, who is currently renting in Borussia Dortmund, may miss the World Cup in Russia later this year. The Belgian national injured at the loss of Schalke on Sunday, which proved to be more serious than the initial forecast.
Batshuai was pulled on a stretcher after he had traumatized his ankle.
“I do not think it looked like an injury from which you can get back to the pitch quickly,” said Borussia Dortmund, coach Peter Schogeer.
“Of course, I hope to be wrong. Right now I can not say anything but that he was experiencing serious pain and would be further investigated. I hope his trauma will not be as serious as it seems, “said the specialist.
Mishi Batshuay’s contract with Borussia Dortmund expires at the end of the season, after which he will have to return to Chelsea, which he owns.
Borussia striker Dortmund Mishi Batshuay will get an urgent review after the trauma he suffered at a 0-2 win in the derby against Schalke 04.
Schalke triumphed in the derby of Ruhr
The injury in the Belgian national’s ankle was another bitter touch for the “yellow-black” who turned his head to the big local enemy. To make matters worse, she came to the end of the match, when not only was the final result fixed, but Dortmund had spent three shifts.
Benjamin Stambuli went very heavily into the legs of the dark tan, who otherwise enjoyed a strong period since he was putting Borussia’s team in January. The condition of Batshuai was so severe that he had to be carried on a stretcher.
The news is a serious blow not only to the player and his club but also for the national team of Belgium. 24-year-old Batshuai seems to be in the ranks of 23-year-old Roberto Martinez, but now he needs to see what his condition is.
In its 10 Bundesliga matches so far, the attacker has scored more than 7 decent goals.
Borussia Dortmund’s leadership reported that the striker Mishi Battshuay’s season is over. With a brief announcement on his official site, the club informs that the ankle trauma that he received in the derby with Schalke would prevent him from putting on Dortmund’s shirt again this season.
Dortmund, however, says that Batshuai still has chances to take part in the World Cup 2018 with Belgium.
In practice, this means that the Belgian has already played his last match for the “yellow-black” because his contract with the German team expires at the end of the season. Mishi Batshuai is owned by Chelsea in England.
Batshuai himself confirmed the news in his personal Twitter account.
