Valverde sufre un esguince de tobillo de grado 3 tras dura entrada

Uruguayan midfielder Valverde suffered a grade 3 ankle sprain during a derby match after a dangerous tackle from South Korean player Kang-In Lee went unpunished. El Correo Gallego reports that the tackle was so severe it was missed by both the referee and VAR review officials during the match.
Kang-In Lee's challenge on Valverde during the derby left the Uruguayan player with a severe ankle injury. The tackle was so reckless that multiple media outlets described it as a "terrorific entry." Neither the match official nor the VAR system caught the infraction, allowing play to continue without a card or stoppage.
Medical tests confirmed Valverde's injury as a grade 3 ankle sprain, the most severe classification. This type of injury typically requires several weeks of recovery and rehabilitation. The midfielder faces an extended absence from competition, dealing a blow to his team's midfield depth during the season.
The failure of both officials and VAR to address Lee's challenge has drawn criticism across Spanish sports media. La Provincia and other outlets highlighted the missed decision as a significant oversight. Questions now surround the quality of refereeing and whether VAR properly monitors dangerous play during high-stakes derby matches.
