Fedde Leysen suffers ACL injury during Sassuolo match

Sassuolo defender Fedde Leysen has suffered a serious knee injury, confirmed to be a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left leg. The injury occurred during a match against AC Milan.

Leysen, a 23-year-old Belgian player, was a regular starter for the club following his move from Union Saint-Gilloise. While he managed to leave the pitch without a stretcher, the medical diagnosis indicates a long-term absence from football. The club is expected to evaluate surgical options in the coming days.

Leysen addressed the situation via social media, thanking the club, his teammates, family, and fans for their support. He expressed his determination to recover, stating, “I will come back stronger than before.”
