Ely has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee

It's official now. The Italian-Brazilian central Rodrigo Ely has a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee and will be in the dry dock between six and eight months. The play, fortuitous, took place in the 37th minute of the match against Celta. The player made a slightly sharp turn and the studs stuck in the grass. Ely collapsed and he began to cry inconsolably.

He knew what had happened to him because he also experienced it in the 2018-19 preseason when, in the course of a friendly against Alcorcón in Los Angeles de San Rafael (Segovia) he broke the anterior crusader of the other leg, the right. Initially the complete rupture was not very clear and a conservative treatment was made. But, thanks to your agent, decided to travel to Pittsburg (United States) and underwent surgery when he saw that the rupture was total.

It has not been the best year for Ely since had lost enough prominence in the opening eleven of Pablo Machín with the arrival of Lejeune. He scored a goal against Athletic Bilbao in Mendizorroza but his celebration was not very lucky as he silenced the sports press area. Then he regretted that gesture and worked with perseverance in the following weeks. Contrary to what footballers usually do on these dates, he signed up on Twitter and lately he was very active on social networks.

Ximo Navarro's injuries and, above all, Laguardia, opened the doors for him to play more games. Also the Copa del Rey, which you already know the day and time to play in Riazor. It will be Three Kings Day at 7:00 p.m.. Ely will have to watch it from home. Now he has hours with ice and anti-inflammatories ahead of him, a surgical operation and a lot of effort with rehabilitation: physios, exercise bike, swimming pool, machines and everything that helps to strengthen the leg regardless of the fact that it does not have adhesions or side effects after going through the hospital.
