USMNT Star Ricardo Pepi Faces Two-Month Layoff Due to Knee Injury
Ricardo Pepi's impressive goal-scoring performances for PSV Eindhoven and the USMNT are threatened by a potential two-month absence caused by a knee injury.
In the wake of his match-winning goal against Liverpool in the Champions League, Ricardo Pepi was on a scoring spree but now faces a delay due to a knee injury. After scoring his 18th goal this season, it appears Pepi’s time on the field could be diminished by two months as confirmed by sources aware of the situation. This injury could prevent him from participating in upcoming crucial matches for the USMNT, including the Concacaf Nations League semifinals against Panama and possibly a final match against Mexico.
Pepi’s recent performances have solidified his position as the primary forward for both the USMNT and PSV Eindhoven; however, he might now also miss the Champions League playoff series next month depending on his rehabilitation progress. The PSV Eindhoven coaching staff, led by Mauricio Pochettino, will now need to seek alternatives in his absence.
