Cagliari, successful surgery for Andrea Belotti: season in doubt | OneFootball

Cagliari Calcio has officially announced that Andrea Belotti underwent surgery today for the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee. The operation was perfectly successful, and the Rossoblu striker will begin his rehabilitation process in the coming days.

Cagliari, successful operation for Andrea Belotti: season at risk

The serious injury occurred at the 42nd minute of Cagliari-Inter. On a deep throw, Belotti gave way to his left knee while trying to anticipate the opposing goalkeeper Josep Martínez, after starting slightly offside. The striker immediately realized the severity of the situation, leaving the field supported by the club's medical staff.

Recovery time and season at risk

The prognosis does not leave much hope for the rest of the season. Full recovery will require between 6 and 7 months, which means that Belotti will hardly be able to return to training with the group before April 2026. In fact, the striker's season could already be considered compromised.

The rehabilitation process

In the coming days, the post-operative rehabilitation phase will begin, which is crucial to ensure the full functionality of the knee and allow a gradual return to the field. The medical staff of Cagliari will constantly monitor the player's conditions, with personalized protocols for each phase of recovery.

Andrea Belotti, a reference point for the Rossoblu attack, will have to face a long physical and mental challenge. The club, his teammates, and the fans will closely follow each phase of his rehabilitation, with the hope of seeing him return to the field in full form next season.
