According to the official website of the Dutch club, the 29-year-old Ukrainian is out of action for the rest of the season.

The examination showed that Zinchenko needs surgery, which will be performed in the near future. After that, the former Manchester City and Arsenal player will face a long rehabilitation period – approximately 6-7 months.
Let us remind you that the Ukrainian national team player “broke down” in the 3rd minute of the first match in the “base” of Ajax against Fortuna at the Johan Cruyff Arena (4:1).

And there are less than four months left until the start of the World Cup itself in the USA, Canada, and Mexico…
