Genoa attacking midfielder Ruslan Malynowskyi seriously injured his ankle in a match against Venice in the Italian league. In the 48th minute, the 31-year-old Ukrainian national team player went into an unsuccessful tackle, which resulted in his leg twisting.

While the medics were running to Ruslan, he was lying on the field screaming in pain. Previously, our compatriot suffered a torn internal ligament in his ankle and a torn intertibial syndesmosis. A fracture is also possible. The footballer will have to undergo surgery and miss three months or more

The Ukrainian was taken off the field on a stretcher and immediately sent to the nearest hospital. Andrea Pinamonti took the field instead of Malynowskyi.
