Deportivo Saprissa announced on Tuesday that winger Deyver Vega will miss the remainder of the season due to a serious knee injury sustained during a match against Sporting FC on Saturday.

The club confirmed that medical examinations revealed a complete rupture of the internal meniscus and the medial collateral ligament in Vega's knee.

He is scheduled to undergo knee arthroscopy in the coming days, with the recovery timeline to be determined following the surgery.

At the time of his injury, Vega was regaining form under coach Paulo César Wanchope, having logged a total of 388 minutes across ten matches this season, with four of those as a starter.

The injury presents a significant setback for both the player and the club as they progress through the tournament.

No additional details regarding the anticipated timeframe for his recovery have been disclosed, pending the surgical procedure.
