Edinson Cavani underwent surgery: how long will recovery take | OneFootball

Edinson Cavani underwent a minimally invasive procedure in his lower back to stop his pain. This outpatient intervention aims to avoid major surgery, keeping him away from physical activity and regular training while the professional squad enjoys its vacation during the World Cup break.

Alarm bells were still ringing at the club from La Ribera over the medical diagnosis of the Uruguayan striker. El Matador has been dealing with recurring back discomfort that limited his physical and football continuity during the last six months. Given this situation, the club’s leadership and medical staff looked for an effective alternative to preserve his well-being.

At first, there were fears in the halls of La Bombonera of a traditional surgical procedure that would have kept him off the pitch for many months. However, the specialists ultimately chose radiofrequency thermolesion, an outpatient treatment with a much lower impact. This modern method uses electromagnetic waves to heat and deactivate in a controlled way the nerves that transmit chronic pain.

Edinson Cavani played his last match on February 20.

The decision to avoid traditional surgery is based on strong hope that this targeted block will provide the expected results. In this way, the blue-and-gold club hopes to have El Matador back within an estimated timeframe of between a month and a half and two months. Everything will depend on his day-to-day clinical progress and on how his body handles the workload ahead of the second half of the year.

Edinson Cavani’s timeline

Taking advantage of the official break due to the World Cup, the recovery timeline plays relatively in Edinson Cavani’s favor. Boca are scheduled to return to training in Ezeiza on June 18, when the forward will continue his rehabilitation separately. The goal of the club’s leadership and coaching staff will be to get him back to full fitness without rushing any stages or taking unnecessary risks.
