Ukraine midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi recently underwent successful left knee surgery in Belgium, Trabzonspor confirmed on September 28. The 33-year-old endured persistent issues stemming from substantial bone edema and mechanical discomfort. The arthroscopic debridement procedure, which involves the removal of damaged tissue or debris from a joint, was performed on the midfielder.
Trabzonspor’s medical team will oversee Malinovskyi’s rehabilitation process. The club has not disclosed a specific timeline for his return to training or competitive play. The injury has prevented Malinovskyi from participating in Ukraine’s present UEFA Nations League series, as he was not part of the squad for the four matches held between September 25 and October 5.
His last appearance for Trabzonspor was on August 27, when he featured in the club’s Europa League playoff game against Ferencváros. Malinovskyi joined Trabzonspor in June, signing a three-year contract. Prior to his time in Turkey, he had played in Europe for Genoa, Atalanta, Marseille, and Genk. Trabzonspor also announced the recent departure of head coach Fatih Tekke.
