Vlad Ciriches has torn a muscle – FCSB, without several key players for the match against the University of Craiova

Chiriches felt pain in the 74th minute of FCSB’s 2-1 away loss to UTA and was replaced by Siyabonga Ngezana.

The news is quite unpleasant, with Mihai Stojka confirming on Tuesday that the defender has suffered a torn muscle which will keep him out of the squad’s Euro 2024 qualifiers against Israel and Kosovo.

“Vlad Kiriches has a break. He also feels it when he walks. It will last 3-4 weeks. Should be back in a month. Peak, you play on synthetics, you play every 3 days, and you don’t suffer anything.

He is preparing exceptionally well, but now an injury has occurred. Chiricheş is a very good acquisition, even if it happened now” Mihai Stoyka saidfor Orange Sport.

Before the break in the Super League, FKSHB will play on Saturday at home against the University of Craiova, in the eighth stage. In addition to Vlad Ciriches, the vice-champion will not be able to count on Florinel Coman and Alexandra Pantea, who were eliminated in the game in Arad.

Two other important players, Alexandru Beluce and Adrian Shute, were absent from the last match due to injuries.
