Juve, De Sciglio operated on in Bologna: “Perfectly successful operation”

Mattia De Sciglio underwent surgery on his right knee this morning in Bologna and the surgery was perfectly successful, as explained in the bulletin published on the official Juventus website: “This morning Mattia De Sciglio underwent reconstruction surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee. The surgery, performed at the Toniolo clinic in Bologna by Prof. Zaffagnini of the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute, in the presence of the Juventus club doctor, Dr. Freschi, was perfectly successful. The player will begin the rehabilitation process in the next few days”.

De Sciglio had started in the home match against Lecce, but in a game contact with Barella he had collapsed to the ground, visibly in pain. The teammates waved immediately and signaled to the bench the need for a change, as did the intervention of the Juventus medical staff, who accompanied the player, in tears on a stretcher, off the pitch. On the day of the return to goal, Juve thus lost a sure protagonist of the final rush, also due to the absence of alternatives in the wing other than Cuadrado. The diagnosis was relentless: anterior cruciate ligament injury and the need for surgery. Obviously the season is over for him.
