Marvin Angulo Sustains Ankle Injury During Match Against Saprissa
Liberian midfielder's injury raises concerns as he shares images of significant swelling.
Marvin Angulo, a midfielder for Liberia, faced adversity in a recent match against Deportivo Saprissa on March 17, 2025, at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa.
Just seven minutes into the game, Angulo was injured following an incident in which he fouled Saprissa's striker, Ariel Rodríguez, while contesting for the ball.
The contact resulted in Angulo stretching his foot awkwardly, leading to a significant injury that caused him to exit the match early.
The following day, Angulo utilized his Instagram account to share a photograph displaying the state of his ankle, which was notably swollen and bruised.
The severity of the injury raised concerns among fans and medical observers alike.
Fortunately for Angulo, there will be a temporary pause in the national league, as Costa Rica's national football team is scheduled to play against Belize this weekend.
Consequently, Angulo’s club, Liberia, will not compete again until March 25, 2025, when they will face Guanacasteca in a high-stakes match known as the clásico de la pampa.
This injury highlights the physical demands placed on athletes during competitive matches and the potential for unavoidable incidents that can lead to injury, regardless of intent.
