Besiktas has publicly stated that there is no issue with a former Eagles footballer. According to information gathered from the Istanbul club, there is no pathology to explain the alleged pain that Rafa Silva – associated with Benfica – has been experiencing in recent times.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, November 19, the Turkish club issued a statement explaining that no problems were detected in the tests conducted on the 32-year-old footballer. Furthermore, Besiktas made a point of sending Rafa a recovery plan, for the athlete to follow, so he can return to training as soon as possible.
“As a result of the MRI scans performed yesterday on our player Rafa Silva, no pathology was found that could explain his back pain,” reads the statement shared by the Istanbul club.
At a time when Benfica is aware of the conditions for the player’s departure, Besiktas informed what the next step will be: “The player, who reported persistent pain and did not participate in today’s session, will receive a treatment program from our medical team with a diagnosis of mechanical low back pain.”
“The program was communicated to the player and his representative in writing. The process, which is being meticulously monitored by our club, will proceed based on the mutual fulfillment of contractual obligations by both parties,” the Istanbul club added in conclusion.
