“The operation took place at the end of last week.  Unfortunately, it confirmed the initial diagnosis, damaged front and lateral cruciate ligament.

“In fact, 6-7 months, is the minimum recovery time.  In fact, he had two operations.  The situation is difficult.  Let’s sit down, let’s talk with the agent.

“We are upset.  But this is football – nothing can be done.  Not yet ready to announce a decision.”
