Alvaro Odriozola - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Undergoes surgery Odriozola (knee) has started his recovery following successful surgery to repair an ACL tear that will keep him out for the rest of the season, his club announced Tuesday.

Impact Odriozola is expected to spend several months on the sidelines and could even miss part of the 2026/27 campaign with this issue. The defender also dealt with a significant issue last season, having made only seven La Liga appearances over the last two years. Jon Aramburu is now set to remain the team's first right-back option in upcoming matches.

Suffers torn ACL Odriozola is out for the rest of the season and will receive surgery soon after suffering a torn ACL, according to his club.

Impact Odriozola had gone in for testing Sunday after twisting his knee Saturday and has received the worst possible news, now done for the season due to a torn ACL. Unfortunately, this will leave him out into next season as well, eyeing around a nine to 12 month recovery. He has been a minor player in the team this season, so it won't force much change, although it is a huge blow to the development of the defender.

Forced off injured Odriozola (undisclosed) came on for three minutes during Saturday's clash against Oviedo before being forced off injured, according to the club.
