Cho Gyu-seong from Mitwillan experienced knee pain during a match against Silkeborg, leading to his substitution just 16 minutes into the second half.
Cho Gyu-seong, a striker for Mitwillan, had to leave the pitch due to knee pain just 16 minutes after being substituted in during the 21st round match of the Danish Superliga against Silkeborg. His coach, Mike Thulberg, expressed concern about Cho's recurring issues with knee injuries, especially when playing on artificial turf, as was the case in this match at JYSK Park. Thulberg noted that the exact cause of the pain is unknown but hoped it might be a simple bruise,
Cho has a history of knee problems that previously kept him out of action for a significant period. After undergoing surgery following the 2023-2024 season, Cho had to recover from complications that sidelined him for the entire 2024-2025 season. He made his return to competitive play last August and impressively regained his form, even scoring in a friendly match against Bolivia, leading to his selection for the national team after a long absence.
Concern is now mounting again as Cho's latest injury could affect his availability for the upcoming international matches next month, particularly as the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches. The national team is scheduled to play friendlies in Europe against Côte d'Ivoire and Austria next month, and Cho's participation might be influenced by the severity of his current injury."
