Bahia confirm surgery for full-back after appendicitis diagnosis | OneFootball

Bahia confirmed this Monday that full-back Gilberto underwent a medical procedure after showing symptoms of appendicitis. Surgery was performed and the player has already been discharged from the hospital.

Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, an organ connected to the large intestine. This inflammation usually occurs when something blocks the entrance of the organ, causing a buildup of bodily secretions and multiplying bacteria, which leads to abdominal pain.

Gilberto's numbers for Bahia

For Tricolor de Aço, Gilberto has played 101 matches, in which he has scored three goals and provided seven assists.

With the best campaign in the Campeonato Baiano so far, Bahia is preparing to face Club Deportivo O’Higgins this Wednesday at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), in the second leg of the Libertadores second round. In the first match, the Brazilians lost 1-0 to the Chileans.
