Nathan Ake, the Netherlands defender, had to be stretchered off during the Nations League match against Germany due to a non-contact injury.
He appeared to be in significant pain as his teammate Cody Gakpo and German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen assisted him to the ground.
The medical team from the Netherlands rushed onto the field to tend to Ake, who was taken off on a stretcher just before halftime.
While the extent of Ake’s injury is yet to be determined, it raises concerns about his availability for Manchester City’s upcoming Premier League match against Brentford on Saturday.
Ake joins a growing list of Premier League stars affected by injuries during the international break, following Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard, who had to leave Norway’s match against Austria on Monday after appearing to roll his left ankle.
Odegaard was seen in distress on the field and later boarded a plane on crutches, leaving Arsenal anxious as they await the results of his medical scans to assess the injury’s severity.
Stay tuned for more updates.
