On Sunday, Internacional released an official statement informing that goalkeeper Sergio Rochet will undergo a new surgery next Tuesday (10/14), in Porto Alegre, for the removal of the plate and screws used to fix the fracture in the fourth metacarpal of his left hand.
According to the club, the procedure is part of the medical plan defined since the initial operation, performed on March 30, after the goalkeeper was injured during the match against Flamengo, in the first round of the Brazilian Championship.
“The intervention is part of the medical plan defined since the initial surgery,” the club reported.
Inter also emphasized that there is no new injury nor any complication in the treatment. In June, the Uruguayan had already undergone a small complementary procedure as part of the rehabilitation process, “with the aim of adjusting bone consolidation and ensuring full recovery.”
“Now, in accordance with the medical schedule, the athlete will go through the final stage of recovery, aimed at removing the fixation material — a common practice in cases of this type of fracture,” the statement explained.
After the postoperative and healing period, Rochet will resume physiotherapy at CT Parque Gigante, under the supervision of the club’s Health and Performance Department.
The text concludes that the decision was made jointly between the athlete and Inter, also taking into account the treatment of the injury to his left foot, to synchronize the recovery processes and allow “Chino Rochet to be in full condition as soon as possible”.
Rochet has not played since Internacional’s defeat to Grêmio last month. He had been undergoing treatment for another injury, this time to his left foot.
