Yerson Chacon's national team return in doubt due to injury

AEK Larnaca forward Yerson Chacon has received his first call-up to the Venezuela national team since January 2022, following strong performances with his club. However, his participation in upcoming friendly matches against the Basque Country, scheduled for November 14, and Russia, on November 17, is currently uncertain due to a muscular injury.

National team coach Oswaldo Vizcarrondo confirmed that the 23-year-old player arrived at the training camp with a muscle strain, which he claims was not disclosed by the club. Consequently, Chacon is set to undergo further medical imaging tests to determine whether he can continue with the team's current tour or if he will be sent back to Cyprus. Venezuelan media reports highlight a discrepancy regarding the communication of the injury, suggesting that the player may have failed to inform his club of his symptoms prior to his departure.
