Starting for Dinamo again under head coach Zeljko Kopic, George Pușcaș (30 years old) was substituted in the last minutes of the first half with Alexandru Musi.

George Pușcaș Suffers Terrible Injury

It appears that the injury that has caused Pușcaș pain in recent matches has returned. Despite his recent claim of feeling better, Pușcaș acknowledged that he is considering surgery if his hernia cannot be treated otherwise. After being substituted, Pușcaș looked dejected, as seen in images captured by Sport.ro. He greeted the coach, and his teammates on the bench tried to console him.

The injury comes after Pușcaș scored a goal and provided an assist in the previous league match, where Dinamo defeated FC Argeș 2-1.
