Isco’s Euro 2024 prospects in doubt as hamstring injury recovery timeline increases
Introduction to the Article
Isco Alarcon, who joined Real Betis as a free agent last summer, has been in spectacular form in La Liga this season. However, an injury suffered in a recent match looks set to see him miss a significant amount of matches, impacting his availability for selection ahead of Spain’s upcoming friendlies and potentially for the European Championship.
Isco’s Form and Recent Injury
Isco Alarcon has undoubtedly been one of the best players in La Liga this season, having scored four goals in his last four appearances. However, he suffered a hamstring injury in the later stages of the draw with Getafe last weekend, setting the stage for an extended period on the sidelines.
Impact on Spain’s Squad
With an initial injury timeframe of 6-8 weeks, it’s highly unlikely that Isco will be included in Luis de la Fuente’s Spain squad for the upcoming European Championship. This would be a significant blow for him, considering how well he has performed in Real Betis colours this season.
Treatment and Recovery
Despite the decision against surgery in favor of conservative treatment, the extended injury timeline will have ramifications for Isco’s availability for selection. This further underlines the potential impact on Spain’s squad selection and the European Championship.
