Four cruciate injuries, but Udol didn’t give up: “Miraculous, I don’t think about it anymore”

Cruciate ligament rupture can drastically change an athlete’s career, but Matthieu Udol it is the exception to the rule. The Metz left-back has suffered this injury four times and has always managed to find the motivation to continue his career at a high level.

“When it happened for the fourth time, I really wondered if the time had come to stop, maybe someone hadn’t messed up my knee enough… But then the love for football took over, even though I know that I risk serious arthritis in the future. It’s all quite miraculous, at least that’s what my surgeon told me, who had never seen anything like it. Now I don’t think about it anymore, especially since my last injury happened a long time ago, in “autumn of 2021”, confided the player, author of 3 goals and 3 assists in the season.
