What exactly was the injury, as there were conflicting reports in the papers?
He had an open fracture of the fibula, and he had a dislocated ankle. Both have now been repaired surgically and at the moment it looks successful. It was a very bad one, but saying that it could have been worse. Of course it could have been a lot better, and only time will tell just how bad it is.
How did the operation itself go?
It went really well. The professor at Selly Oak Hospital did a great job, it all went smoothly. Eduardo stabilised on Sunday, then transferred to London. We checked him out with our people on Monday, and he stayed in hospital until Wednesday. So the surgery went really well. He’s well on the mend now and the only cause for concern is if he gets any infection, because it was an open fracture. The crucial part now is the next two weeks. If we can get through that without infection, and all the signs so far are very good, then we can start the rehab and the long road to recovery.
