Castilla Product Franchu Out for Remainder of the Season with ACL Injury

Francisco Feuillassier, better known as Franchu, has torn his ACL and will be out for the remainder of the season. This is a huge blow to Jose Manuel Diaz and the Castilla squad as Franchu was one of the first names on the team sheet and had contributed 3 goals in 13 appearances for the high flying reserve side. Castilla are currently placed in 4th, only 3 points off the top of the table. With Vinicius JR featuring more prominently in the first team squads, and now the sudden loss of their pacey bull-like Argentine winger, depth has taken a hit at the reserve level.

Franchu released a message on social media following reports from Marca about the injury, “Today, I can confirm that I have torn the cruciate ligament in my right knee. Many hard months lay ahead, but I am very clear in my head—I will come back stronger than ever. Thank you for all of your support. This is just a part of my path! #onedaymoreonedayless”

Castilla’s next match is against is Saturday the 8th, against S.S. Reyes who are 3rd in the table tied on points with Castilla.
