Cologne – In the midst of its athletic crisis, Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams must cope with some bad news. Cooper Kupp, MVP in the finals of the professional football league NFL earlier this year, has suffered a syndesmosis tear and needs surgery.

The wide receiver played a major role in the victory over the Cincinnati Bengals (23:20) in Super Bowl LVI. Kupp scored two touchdowns in Inglewood, one of them with 85 seconds left.

Kupp (29) suffered the injury on Sunday (local time) in the game against the Arizona Cardinals (17:27). The Rams conceded their sixth loss in the ninth game of the season and are last in the NFC West. Kupp was placed on the Injured Reserve list and will miss at least four games.
