Liverpool Concerned as Giorgi Mamardashvili Suffers Muscle Tear, Out for the Rest of 2024
Liverpool’s plans for the future have hit a small setback, as incoming goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili has been ruled out for the rest of the year due to a thigh injury.
The Reds agreed to sign the 24-year-old from Valencia during the summer transfer window, with his move to Anfield set to take place after this season. Mamardashvili has been a standout performer for the La Liga club, and his consistent displays convinced Liverpool to secure his services.
Last weekend, the Georgian international played the entire 90 minutes in Valencia’s 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano. However, reports from El Chiringuito on Monday revealed he sustained a thigh injury during the match.
According to AS, further tests confirmed the goalkeeper has suffered a muscle tear, which will keep him sidelined for at least three weeks. This means Mamardashvili will miss the remainder of 2024, including Valencia’s next three games.
In his absence, Stole Dimitrievski is expected to take over goalkeeping duties as Valencia fights to avoid relegation.
Liverpool will closely monitor the situation, as there is concern that rushing Mamardashvili back too soon could lead to long-term complications. Valencia, on the other hand, may feel pressured to bring him back quickly due to their ongoing struggles in La Liga.
So far this season, Mamardashvili has kept three clean sheets and conceded 22 goals in 14 league matches for Valencia.
As Liverpool prepares for his arrival next year, they will hope the talented stopper makes a full recovery without further issues.
