Striker Cuello has ankle surgery in Belo Horizonte after injury | OneFootball

Atlético announced this Tuesday (23) that the Argentine forward Tomás Cuello underwent surgery at Mater Dei Hospital in Belo Horizonte to correct a fracture in his left ankle and repair ligament injuries.

The procedure was performed by doctors Rodrigo Lasmar and Otaviano Oliveira, members of the club’s medical department. According to Galo, the operation went as expected and the player is already recovering in the hospital.

Cuello is expected to be discharged tomorrow.

The forward was injured last Wednesday (17), at 34 minutes into the first half of the match against Bolívar (BOL), in La Paz, during the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana. After the incident, he was taken to Alemana Hospital in the Bolivian capital, where tests revealed the severity of the case.

The expectation is that Cuello will be sidelined for Atlético for a long period, since recovery from fractures associated with ligament injuries usually requires prolonged treatment, and he will only return to the pitch in 2026. The club, however, has not yet released an official timeline for the player’s return to the field.
