Leonardo Spinazzola posted an Instagram message after undergoing ‘successful surgery’ on his Achilles tendon: ‘The countdown starts now.’
The 28-year-old sustained an Achilles tendon injury during the UEFA Euro 2020 quarter-final clash between Italy and Belgium on Friday.
Today, he underwent surgery in Finland and is expected to return to action in six months.
“The club can confirm that Leonardo Spinazzola underwent surgery on Monday to repair the Achilles tendon in his left leg, following the injury suffered during Italy’s win over Belgium at Euro 2020 on July 2,” Roma‘s official statement reads.
“The surgery, which was completed in Turku, Finland by Prof. Lasse Lempainen under the observation of the club’s Chief Doctor Massimo Manara, was successfully completed.
“The player’s condition and likely recovery period will continue to be assessed over the coming weeks.”
After the surgery, the Giallorossi star published on Instagram a picture from his hospital bed: “Surgery went well,” Spinazzola wrote.
“Thank you to everyone for showing me such support, there have really been so many of you.
“The countdown starts now … we’ll see each other again soon.”
