André Franco undergoes surgery: “I’ll work hard to come back stronger” | OneFootball

André Franco underwent surgery this Wednesday to treat the injury he suffered at the beginning of October, when he had played six matches and provided four assists for Chicago Fire in the MLS. On loan from FC Porto until the end of the calendar year, the midfielder is aiming for a quick recovery and left a message of confidence for his teammates ahead of the important MLS match against Orlando City, taking place early tomorrow morning.

“Surgery completed. Another challenge ahead. Today I had surgery on my right knee to repair an anterior cruciate ligament injury at the Surgery Center of The Pacific, in Santa Monica, California. The procedure went well and now it’s time to focus on recovery. My thoughts are with my teammates, who are about to play a very important game. I’ll be cheering for you from afar. Thank you for all the messages and support, they mean a lot. I will work hard every day to come back stronger,” wrote André Franco on Instagram.

It should be noted that Chicago Fire holds a purchase option for 50 percent of André Franco’s rights, for 1.1 million euros, plus up to one million euros in add-ons.
