Sergio Reguilón’s medical report: what injury did he suffer?
Inter Miami detailed that the former Real Madrid, Tottenham, and Manchester United player suffered a Grade II knee sprain, ruling out any major ligament or meniscus damage, as had initially been speculated.
“The player has undergone medical examinations that confirmed he suffered a Grade II knee sprain in his right leg, and his timeline for returning to the field will be determined as his recovery progresses”, the club reported.
These types of injuries typically require between four and six weeks of recovery, depending on the player’s progress.
Will Reguilón be ready for Inter Miami’s MLS debut in 2026?
The main question is whether Sergio Reguilón will be available for the start of the MLS season, scheduled for February 21, when Inter Miami faces LAFC, a team known as the Black & Gold, where Heung-Min Son plays.
With the usual recovery times, Reguilón’s debut in MLS and the Concacaf Champions Cup could be delayed, especially considering that the round of 16 of the continental tournament is one of the club’s major goals for the season.
