Fede Ricca undergoes successful surgery

The Blue and Whites’ defender underwent surgery in Madrid this Tuesday afternoon to correct the instability to his left shoulder.

Doctors Emilio Calvo and Vicente de la Varga operated on Ricca at Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz in the Spanish capital. The successful intervention consisted, fundamentally, in a reinforcement of the posterior capsule of the Blue and White defender’s left shoulder.

From Monday 23rd April, the Uruguayan player will begin a recovery period in Málaga, consisting of two stages. The first involves shoulder immobilisation for six weeks; and the second, between four to six weeks (approximately) will include physiotherapy treatment to regain mobility and strength in the joint.
