MADRID, 2 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Croatian center Dragan Bender is still recovering from surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will not be able to play for the remainder of the season, Monbus Obradoiro confirmed this Friday after subjecting the player to a review.
The medical services of the Galician entity, coordinated by Dr. Jesús Marque, underwent a review of the Balkan player, who played his last game with the team on December 11, 2022. The doctors determined that the evolution of his injury is “positive” , but they assured that he will almost certainly not be able to return to the slopes this year.
“This process is favorable, although slow, since in that match in Bilbao he relapsed from the injury he had suffered in the same knee. All of this prolongs his return to the courts, and would make his availability difficult during the 2023-24 season,” he reported. the club.
The center, who averaged 17.2 points and 6.6 rebounds in the ten games he played with the Obradoirista jersey last season, remains linked to Monbus Obradoiro. “When he is available, he will join the discipline of the Compostela team,” the club warned.
“The presence of the player in the city has served to strengthen the ties between the entity and the player, who is making every effort aimed at his recovery. Likewise, the club follows the player's evolution day by day with the intention of that Caldeira del Sar can enjoy, as soon as possible, the Croatian”, he concluded.
