Bittersweet feelings left the recognition ceremony for Christiane Endler this Saturday, February 19, as it was reported that the Chilean goalkeeper will have to stay away from the fields for a few months.
Originally, Endler would be recognized by the ANFP after winning The Best award for the best goalkeeper of 2021 a few weeks ago, for which the ceremony was held normally.
What would be the surprise for the fans to see Tiane receive said recognition supported by crutches, which immediately generated doubts and uncertainty within the Chilean fan.
In the end, the diagnosis was not as hopeful as some thought, as Christiane Endler suffered a torn medial meniscus in her right knee and will not be able to avoid surgery, for which the Lyon goalkeeper will have to undergo surgery.
At the request of the Lyon team itself, the surgical intervention will be carried out this coming Thursday, February 24, in French territory in order to facilitate the process for the Chilean who unfortunately suffers from this injury at a key moment in her season. Well, with Lyon he was in an important stretch and with Chile, in preparation for the great tournament in the summer, the Copa América.
Endler’s recovery is estimated to last two months to two and a half months. The worst case scenario being a recovery of three months, depending on the speed in which Endler manages to recover.
All with the hope that she is ready for the 2022 Copa América and can represent Chile in what will be the most important tournament in South America and where Christiane will definitely want to be, yes or yes, as well as for her part, the fans will want the goalkeeper Chilean considered the best in the world is present at said event.
