Emegha's World Cup dream falters after injury
Muscle injury at RC Strasbourg puts Emmanuel Emegha under pressure at the worst possible time.
Emmanuel Emegha suffered a serious blow 39 days before the World Cup. The RC Strasbourg striker suffered a muscle injury against Toulouse, precisely in the phase where recovery alone is not enough. For the Dutch team, not only talent will count, but also match rhythm and proof of fitness.
The injury comes at a brutal time. Emegha is an emerging option for the Netherlands, but the calendar leaves little room for doubt. Even if the damage is not too bad, a short absence can become significant when national selections take shape.
