La Liga outfit Girona have this week been dealt a blow on the personnel front.

This comes amid confirmation that Vladyslav Krapyvtsov is set for an incoming spell on the sidelines.

Goalkeeper Krapyvtsov has for his part spent the last week away on international duty, with Ukraine’s U21 squad.

In a recent training session, however, the 20-year-old suffered an injury setback, the extent of which has on Tuesday been announced.

As per a statement across Girona’s social media platforms:

‘Vladyslav Krapyvtsov suffered an ankle sprain with the Ukraine national team. Approximate downtime: 4-6 weeks.’

Krapyvtsov, for his part, has managed just a pair of appearances in the colours of Girona across the season to date.

This comes with the summer signing viewed more as an investment for the future than the present.

News of his injury, though, will nevertheless come as a blow at the Estadi Montilivi, in further reducing the depth in Míchel’s squad.
