Espagne : un attaquant contraint de renoncer au Mondial

The Spanish national team will have to do without one of its attacking assets for the 2026 World Cup. Samu Omorodion Aghehowa, revelation of the season with FC Porto, has suffered a serious injury to his right knee.

The 21-year-old striker, who has scored 20 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions, completely ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament during a match against Sporting CP. He underwent successful surgery on Wednesday in Madrid and now begins a long recovery period.

In a statement, the Portuguese club indicated that Samu Omorodion is expected at the Olival training center on Monday to begin his rehabilitation. An absence of several months is already confirmed, ending his season and jeopardizing his participation in the upcoming World Cup.

A real blow for Spain, who saw the Nigerian-born striker as a key element in their attacking strategy for the World Cup scheduled in North America.
