United States forward Folarin Balogun will be out of action for approximately two months due to a shoulder injury, according to a source familiar with the situation. Balogun, who has been in fine form recently, scored in Monaco’s 2-1 victory over Rennes on October 5th before being forced off the field with the injury.
The injury, described as a dislocated shoulder, occurred during the game but Monaco has not yet released an official statement regarding the extent of the injury. Balogun, who is currently in his second season with Monaco, scored the winning goal in the 22nd minute against Rennes before being substituted off in the second half due to the injury.
As a result of this injury, Balogun has had to withdraw from the United States national team squad for their upcoming matches against Panama and Mexico. This comes as a blow to both Monaco and the U.S. national team, as Balogun has been in impressive form and has been a key player for both teams.
Balogun’s absence will be felt by Monaco as they look to maintain their position at the top of the league table, while the U.S. national team will have to cope without one of their key attacking players for the upcoming matches. It remains to be seen how long Balogun will be out of action and how Monaco and the U.S. national team will cope in his absence.
Despite this setback, Balogun will be hoping to make a speedy recovery and get back to full fitness as soon as possible. In the meantime, Monaco and the U.S. national team will have to make do without one of their star players and look to other members of the squad to step up in his absence.
It is always unfortunate to see a player sidelined due to injury, especially when they are in such good form. However, injuries are a part of the game and both Monaco and the U.S. national team will have to adapt and find ways to cope without Balogun in the team. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the field soon.
