Nehuén Pérez discharged from hospital | OneFootball

The suspicion related to Francesco Farioli, made public right after the Nacional–FC Porto match, was confirmed yesterday morning with the news that Nehuén Pérez suffered a serious injury in the 57th minute, shortly after coming onto the field. The defender sustained a complete rupture of his right Achilles tendon, and the club announced that the Argentine international underwent surgery in the morning. The prognosis is guarded, as recovery is usually very lengthy, making it quite plausible that he will not compete again this season.

A regular starter in the first four matches, the South American defender had been putting in performances that made fans forget what he showed last season, although the day before yesterday he lost his spot in the starting eleven to debutant Kiwior, the Polish defender signed from Arsenal. Recovery is estimated to take between six and eight months, as this is one of the most feared injuries for footballers; in this century, three other FC Porto players have faced a similar situation: Pedro Emanuel, Helton, and Danilo.
