Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a knee operation yesterday, as announced by the club's official webiste. The iconic striker will still be absent for some time as he is now aiming to recover and get back into shape.
According to what is reported by Il Corriere della Sera, the 39 year-old Swede is aiming to be ready for the first game of the Serie A season, scheduled for the weekend in 22 August.
The medical staff led by Dr. Mazzoni has already prepared a detailed plan to speed up the recovery of the player as much as possible, who yesterday decided to proceed with the surgery.
The initial plan was to have a diagnostic arthroscopy, to understand what the problem was, however, with the aim of speeding up the recovery time, surgeon Volker Musah cleaned the injured knee.
Ibrahimovic now feels relieved about his condition. In fact, he was feeling a little 'down' recently as the knee problem was tormenting him, concludes the source.
