MADRID, 16 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
RCD Mallorca full-back Pablo Maffeo will miss the next few games after undergoing surgery this Monday to undergo an arthroscopy on his right knee to solve the meniscus problems that he had been experiencing for several weeks.
“Pablo Maffeo underwent surgery this afternoon. After the tests carried out this morning in Barcelona by Doctor Cugat, the diagnosis for which he was referred has been confirmed. The right back required arthroscopy and repair of the internal meniscus of the right knee. The recovery period is subject to the evolution of the player,” said the 'vermilion' team in their official 'X' profile.
In this way, the Mallorca coach, Javier Aguirre, will not be able to count on one of his theoretically 'fixed' players in defense for several games, with several media outlets indicating that the loss could last around a month.
The Mexican coach himself spoke about Maffeo in the press conference prior to this Tuesday's Copa del Rey clash against Tenerife and in which he noted that he preferred the footballer to play “until the end of the season” with this discomfort, which he did not It prevented him from playing the entire game last Saturday against Celta, but it would be the doctors who would finally decide.
