Sevilla forward Dodi Lukebakio is facing a lengthy recovery after sustaining an ankle injury, the club confirmed Wednesday. The 25-year-old Belgian international, currently on loan from Watford, has been a consistent presence in Sevilla’s attack this season, scoring three league goals in 12 appearances. This injury presents a challenge for both Sevilla, currently 16th in La Liga, and the Belgian national team as they prepare for Euro 2024 qualifying playoffs in March.
Belgium forward Dodi Lukebakio suffered an ankle injury that will sideline him for at least three months, the team announced on Wednesday, November 29, 2023.
The injury is a significant blow to Lukebakio’s club team, Sevilla, and to the Belgian national team as they prepare for upcoming competitions. Lukebakio, who has been in good form this season, will miss a crucial period of play.
Details surrounding the exact nature of the injury were not immediately released, but the club confirmed the estimated recovery timeframe. Lukebakio’s absence will undoubtedly test Sevilla’s depth as they navigate a busy schedule.
The 25-year-old Lukebakio has been a key contributor for Sevilla since joining the club, and his absence will be keenly felt. The three-month layoff means he will miss a substantial number of La Liga matches and potentially impact his availability for international duty with Belgium.
