Sassuolo received bad news after the match against Milan on 11 October: defender FeddeLeysen suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left leg. Instrumental tests carried out immediately after the match confirmed the diagnosis, leaving the club to define the surgical procedure and recovery phase.
The footballer, born in 1998, has been at the center of attention in the technical sector since his arrival in Serie A. The ACL injury is one of the most serious in football, often requiring surgery and a rehabilitation period that can vary from six to twelve months. Sassuolo, who are at a crucial stage of the season, will therefore have to reconsider their defensive strategy as the player faces a long absence.
The club has announced that, based on the results of the tests, the procedure for the operation and the timing of the rehabilitation will be established. Meanwhile, the team is focused on maintaining competitiveness in SerieA, trying to compensate for the loss of a key defender. Leysen's injury comes at a delicate moment, as Sassuolo needs to consolidate their position in the league table and prepare for the next challenges.
For the future, Sassuolo's technical management will have to evaluate the available options: potential replacements, tactical reorganization or the activation of reserve players. Meanwhile, Leysen has been asked to focus on his recovery, with the hope of returning to action as soon as possible. The club, together with the medical staff, will closely monitor his state of health and communicate any updates to the public.
