The Croatian football representative Joško Guardiol was successfully operated on this Monday in London by the best English surgeon and his rehabilitation can now officially begin after In the match against Chelsea, he suffered a serious injury to the tibia of his right leg.
Guardiol had to leave the Etihad pitch at the beginning of this year with the help of his teammates and the Chelsea captain. After that injury, he could not walk on his own, and coach Pep Guardiola immediately stated that in a statement at the press conference “Guardiola’s injury does not look good”.
The final diagnosis was fracture of the tibia on the right leg and it was inevitable that he would go to surgery. Manchester City insisted that the operation be performed by the best English surgeon, also the man who operated Mateo Kovačić. For this reason, Guardiol was not operated on right away, but had to wait a few days, and was eventually treated.
Knowing how long Guardiol should take a break, City immediately brought in a replacement
Joško is now returning from London to Manchester where he will continue with the rehabilitation process under the supervision of City doctors. He has a race against time to be ready for the World Cup and will undoubtedly be his main motivation in the coming months. It is precisely for this reason that the Croatian Football Association is ready to offer Guardiol spent part of the rehabilitation in Croatia, but the reality is that there is little chance of Manchester City agreeing. However, they are paying him, and not very little, and it is to be expected that they will insist that the entire recovery process be done in England.
According to the first estimates, Guardiol should return to football in about five months, but at this moment it is ungrateful to forecast anything, writes Gol.hr.
Guardiol spoke after the injury: “I will rise again, better than ever”
