The medical opinion was clear and forceful: “Yerson has undergone all the tests and examinations that unfortunately confirm an injury to the medial collateral ligament and cruciate ligament.” The defender will have to undergo surgery in the next two weeks, for which they are making a plan for the surgery.
Bad news for the English team where he began to earn a place in the starting line-up, but also for the Colombian National Team and Néstor Lorenzo who gave him confidence in the match against Argentina and scored the first goal in the 2-1 victory over the Argentine National Team, in the eighth round of the qualifiers.
The Antioquian was injured in the second half, after a clash with Morgan Rogers, in the match that Wolves lost 1-3 to Aston Villa last weekend. The centre-back had to be taken off on a stretcher, in pain.
BAD NEWS FOR THE COLOMBIA NATIONAL TEAM!

At the end of the match, coach Gary O’Neil did not give the best outlook, “it doesn’t look good, things are not good for now, it’s a big loss for us. We were already short in that area of the court, losing Yerson for a while will be a hard blow.” And what was so feared was confirmed, he will miss the rest of the 2024-2025 season.
Yerson Mosquera has suffered a serious knee injury and faces a significant period on the sidelines.
Stay strong, Yerson 💛

Phil Hayward, the club’s director of high performance, expressed in a press release the club’s commitment to the player: “It is clear that Yerson faces a long period of recovery and the club will provide him with all the support he needs to ensure a successful rehabilitation and a return to competition in due course.”
In 2021, when he made his debut in English football against Tottenham, in the 9th minute of the first half, Mosquera suffered a hamstring injury for which he also had to undergo surgery and was out of action for 5 months. Three years later he is repeating the film, but with a double knee injury.
