Eduardo Quaresma has been discharged from the hospital and is now resting at home, after undergoing surgery on the zygomatic bone of the left side of his face, following an injury suffered during the Sporting - Vitória de Guimarães match, which resulted in elimination from the Allianz Cup.
The surgery went smoothly, allowing Eduardo Quaresma to be discharged shortly after, and he is now beginning a period of rest outside the hospital, under medical supervision, before gradually returning to sports activities.
As previously reported, the estimated recovery time is around three weeks, depending on the progress of his recovery and adaptation to facial protections that may be used when the 'number 72' returns to competition.
Despite the temporary absence, the clinical progress of the Portuguese defender reassures Sporting, which is closely monitoring the recovery process of a player who has been gaining minutes with Rui Borges this season, due to other injuries in the squad.
Eduardo Quaresma - valued at 15 million euros - has accumulated 1088 minutes in 15 official matches, with one goal scored and two assists. The young center-back has already won three National Championships, one Portuguese Cup, and one League Cup.
