Attention! Sporting player could face surgery soon... | OneFootball

Eduardo Quaresma remains hospitalized at Hospital de Santo André, in Leiria, since last night, after being injured in the Allianz Cup semi-final match against Vitória de Guimarães. Apparently, the center-back may undergo surgery as early as this Wednesday, January 7.

According to information released by the newspaper Record, the 'number 72' of the Lions continues to undergo additional tests, and the need for surgical intervention has already been determined. The defender will undergo surgery on the zygomatic bone of the left side of his face.

Eduardo Quaresma had to leave the pitch on a stretcher after a violent collision with Samu during the second half of the match, ultimately suffering a severe facial trauma. The estimated recovery time is at least six months, but in some cases, it can be as little as three months.

At the end of the match, Rui Borges expressed concern about the defender’s condition: “I was affected by the departure of both [Ioannidis and Eduardo Quaresma]. Sad because Edu may be seriously injured,” he admitted in statements to Sport TV.

This sporting season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Eduardo Quaresma – valued at 15 million euros – has played only 15 matches. At the start of this season, the player participated in a total of 1,088 minutes, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
