In an official statement released this Wednesday (7), Corinthians updated the physical condition of midfielder Rodrigo Garro, who has been training with his teammates at the start of preseason with extensive protection on his left forearm: a fracture in his left wrist, which required surgery for correction.

The procedure, which took place at Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo, corrected the injury located in the scaphoid bone of the left wrist. The fracture occurred during the Alvinegro’s last match of last season, when the team defeated Vasco 2-1 at Maracanã and won their fourth Copa do Brasil title.

In the statement, the club also credits the successful surgery to Dr. Flávio Faloppa, who was accompanied by Corinthians’ head of the medical department, Dr. Ricardo Galotti. According to the statement, Garro is expected to be discharged later this Wednesday and, starting Friday (8), will be able to return to the training center to begin physical recovery.
