### Girona Striker Dovbyk Suffers Ankle Injury and May Be Sideline For 3 Rounds

Girona Football Club has announced that their top scorer, forward Andriy Dovbyk, has suffered an ankle injury during training. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening at the club's training grounds in Barcelona, Spain.

Dovbyk, who is currently the team's leading goal-scorer with eight goals in six matches this season, was involved in a collision with another player during training. He sustained a significant ankle sprain, which required immediate medical attention. The player was taken to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

The club officials have stated that Dovbyk will need several days of rest and rehabilitation before he can return to full training. As a result, it is expected that the 26-year-old Ukrainian international will miss three consecutive rounds of games, potentially impacting his chances of securing a spot in the upcoming league playoff round.

Dovbyk's absence is a major blow to Girona's attacking lineup, as he was instrumental in their recent successes. His injury could force the team to rely more heavily on other strikers such as Jordi Alba or Oriol Romeu, who are also part of the squad's attack.

Girona manager, Albert Pujols, expressed his concern about the player's recovery and the impact of his absence on the team's performance. "We're all very disappointed with the injury to Dovbyk. It's a big loss for us, but we'll do everything possible to get him back on track as soon as possible," said Pujols.

Meanwhile, Dovbyk himself has acknowledged the seriousness of the injury and is committed to returning to action as soon as possible. "I'm grateful for the care I received from the medical staff. I hope to be back on the pitch as soon as possible and continue contributing to our team's success," he added.

As Girona looks ahead to their remaining matches, they must navigate the challenge posed by Dovbyk's absence. With the competition heating up in La Liga, any setbacks to their top scorer could have far-reaching consequences for their position in the standings.
