Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are among the most dreaded injuries by footballers, often necessitating surgery and leading to prolonged recovery periods.
The ACL is vital for knee joint stability, but injuries, particularly in women's football, have increased significantly. Notably, the trend is also affecting men's football.
Radamel Falcao's severe ACL tear in 2014 not only ended his season but profoundly impacted his career, demonstrating the lasting consequences of such injuries.
Eder Militao experienced a devastating ACL injury in November 2024, which sidelined him for almost an entire season, showcasing the long-term effects of knee injuries in professional football.
