The press service of FC "Andijan" reported that the injury sustained by the goalkeeper of the Kyrgyzstan national team, Erzhan Tokotaev, in the match against "Kyzylkum" turned out to be more serious than expected. The incident occurred a week ago, but it was only after a comprehensive medical examination that a tear of the internal ligament in his left knee was confirmed.
How the incident occurred
During the game, Tokotaev collided with an opposing forward, which resulted in sharp pain and made it impossible for him to continue the match. He was immediately substituted, and a preliminary examination indicated the need for more thorough diagnostics.
Examination results and treatment plans
According to the MRI results, the goalkeeper was confirmed to have a ligament tear. Currently, the medical staff of "Andijan," in collaboration with the doctors of the national team of Kyrgyzstan, is developing a treatment plan, including the possibility of surgical intervention.
The recovery time will depend on the chosen method of therapy, but such injuries typically require several months for rehabilitation.
Support from the club and fans
The club noted that it will provide Tokotaev with all the resources for his full recovery. Fans are actively expressing their support on social media, wishing him a speedy return to the field.
Erzhan Tokotaev is one of the key players of the Kyrgyzstan national team, and his absence will be a significant loss for both the national team and FC "Andijan."
