The Ukrainian striker is struggling with a myotendinous problem in his left thigh. He chose surgery instead of conservative therapy
Still two months in the pits and a transfer now impossible, at least in January. Artem Dovbyk he chose to have surgery to resolve the myotendinous problem of the left thigh on which he had already had two relapses and which had prevented him from being on the field between the end of November and Christmas. A choice that imposes a longer stop than that foreseen with the conservative therapy which was initially adopted by the medical staff.

In recent days, in fact, new exams had highlighted the seriousness of the thigh problem given that the attacker was unable to notice improvements after the new stoppage suffered in Lecce, a few minutes after the 2-0 goal. Hence the decision to operate as Dybala and Pellegrini had already done last season and for whom a stop of around 2-3 months was mandatory. Dovbyk aims to return by the end of March and obviously cannot be sold in the January window. Another significant problem for Massara who was counting on the sale of one of the two top players to reach Zirkzee. The arrivals of Malen and Vaz, if nothing else, allow Gasperini to have alternatives but to try to get the former Bologna player he now needs to convince Ferguson to return to Brighton.
