Lautaro Vargas is traveling to Buenos Aires to undergo surgery on his knee injury with Dr. Batista. The Unión defender will have a surgical procedure and will then begin a lengthy rehabilitation process.
According to initial estimates, the recovery time would be between six and eight months, although the final timeline will depend on the player's progress after the operation.
The procedure will be a key step for Vargas, who will then have to go through different stages of recovery before returning to training normally and being available to the coaching staff again.
At Unión, they will closely monitor the entire medical process and await the defender’s progress over the coming months. The news represents a significant loss for the squad, which will have to face the rest of the season without one of its young talents.
