Eduardo Quaresma sends a pointed message to Sporting | OneFootball

Eduardo Quaresma took to social media on the afternoon of Thursday, January 8, to share an image taken in a room at CUF Tejo in Lisbon. In the photograph, the defender is shown lying down and protecting the left side of his face, an area that underwent surgical intervention following a fracture suffered last night after a dramatic incident in the first semi-final of the Allianz Cup.

“Sporting fans, I have been operated on and everything went well. Thank you for all the messages of strength and affection. See you soon… Believe it!” wrote the 23-year-old center-back, who also took the opportunity to thank the medical team responsible for the surgery, led, according to him, by Dr. Cátia Mateus.

As previously reported, the Sporting player will now undergo a recovery period, estimated to be at least three weeks, before he can return to competition, presumably with appropriate protection. It is expected that this will happen on February 4, against AFS.

Despite the post made from the hospital unit, the newspaper Record reports that Eduardo Quaresma has already been discharged and is now at home recovering. For now, it is expected that the defender will miss the challenging matches against Casa Pia, PSG, Arouca, Athletic Bilbao, and Nacional.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Eduardo Quaresma – valued at 15 million euros – played 15 games: six in the Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, and two in the League Cup. In the 1,088 minutes he was on the field, the defender scored one goal and made two assists.
