**Injury to Girona's Dovbyk Leaves Team in Limbo with 3 Rounds of Injury Time Left**
Girona FC has been grappling with significant uncertainty as their star striker, David Dovbyk, has suffered a serious knee injury that could sideline him for several weeks. The incident occurred during the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals against Real Sociedad on Thursday evening, resulting in Dovbyk being taken off the pitch in pain.
The news has sent shockwaves through the Catalan club, who were trailing 1-0 at halftime and were looking to secure their place in the final. With only three rounds of injury time remaining, Dovbyk’s absence will likely have a profound impact on Girona’s chances of progressing further in the competition.
Dovbyk, a 25-year-old Ukrainian national, is one of Girona’s most prominent players, known for his clinical finishing and versatility on the field. His injury comes at a crucial moment for the club, which had already lost key defenders like Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba due to injuries earlier in the season.
The club has not yet announced any details about Dovbyk’s condition or when he might return. However, reports suggest that the player may be out for between four to six weeks, which would significantly disrupt Girona’s squad rotation and tactical plans.
This development puts pressure on manager Carlos Sánchez to find suitable replacements for Dovbyk. While the club has a strong depth of talent, it remains unclear how they can maintain momentum without their top scorer.
For now, Girona must navigate this unexpected setback while trying to prepare for their upcoming matches. They face another important fixture in the league against Espanyol next Sunday, where the result could determine whether they advance to the Europa League quarterfinals.
As the situation unfolds, fans and supporters of Girona will continue to follow developments closely, hoping for a swift recovery from the injury and a brighter future for the club.
