Silver lining, smart move: what's wrong with Nacho Lago and when's he back? | OneFootball

Ignacio Lago used the weeks off to undergo surgery and fix a chronic problem he had been dealing with in his arm and wrist area, a spot that would keep slipping out of place with every fall or bit of contact in play. He had already been playing at the limit because he didn’t want to stop, but in the end, it was mutually agreed that surgery was the best step.

That’s how Darío Pignata explained it on ADN Gol, where he gave details about the player’s medical situation:

Lago has officially been ruled out for next Sunday’s match, July 5 at 3:00 p.m., against Deportivo Madryn in the south. Although medical literature estimates a recovery time of between one and two months for this type of surgery, the player intends to speed up the rehabilitation timeline. Barring any setbacks, the goal is for him to return for the second matchday.

It will be the first match Lago has missed, having started all 18 games of the first half of the season. The Sabalero top scorer with 7 goals will miss his first match of the tournament.
