Betis player Isco Alarcon underwent surgery to treat the fibula fracture he suffered on 20th May, from which he has not yet recovered.
Betis midfielder Isco Alarcon underwent surgery in Madrid on Friday for the second time in a period of three and a half months on the broken fibula for which he was operated on 20th May, after doctors found that the callus of the fracture was not healing as expected.
The club informed in a medical report that the player from Arroyo de la Miel (Malaga) ‘has been surgically revised of his left fibula fracture by Dr Manuel Leyes’ in the Spanish capital, in collaboration with the club’s orthopaedic surgeons Rafael Muela and Francisco Javier Montilla.
“The fracture site has been cleaned and reinforced with bone grafting and osteosynthesis repositioning with a plate. The player will need an initial non-impact phase and will subsequently undergo a readaptation phase,” he explained in his statement.
Betis do not indicate any recovery period in this report or in the one issued two days ago, when they announced that he would have to undergo surgery again, although the head of their medical services, Jose Manuel Alvarez, said on Wednesday that he will first have to be ‘between 6 and 8 weeks without any kind of impact’ and then face the period of readaptation, so it is estimated that Isco will not be able to reappear until the end of this year or the beginning of 2025.
