André Franco has surgery: “I’ll work hard to come back stronger” | OneFootball

André Franco underwent surgery this Wednesday to treat the injury he suffered at the beginning of October, when he had six matches and four assists for Chicago Fire in the MLS. Loaned by FC Porto until the end of the calendar year, the midfielder is aiming for a quick recovery and left a message of confidence to his teammates before the important MLS match with Orlando City, happening early tomorrow.

“Surgery completed. Another challenge ahead. Today I had surgery on my right knee to repair an anterior cruciate ligament injury at the Surgery Center of The Pacific in Santa Monica, California. The procedure went well, and now it's time to focus on recovery. My thoughts are with my teammates, who are about to play a very important game. I will be cheering for you from afar. Thank you for all the messages and support, they mean a lot. I will work hard every day to come back stronger,” wrote André Franco on Instagram.

It should be noted that Chicago Fire holds an option to purchase 50 percent of André Franco's rights for 1.1 million euros, plus up to one million euros in variables.
