El-Abdellaoui to undergo surgery: left knee issue for Celta
Celta says Jones El-Abdellaoui will need surgery for a left-knee problem after medical tests found a loose articular body.
Celta have received another setback in their squad’s health. As Mundo Deportivo reports, Jones El-Abdellaoui will have to undergo surgery to address a problem in his left knee, after medical tests at the club detected “a small free articular body”.
The Galician side did not specify how long the winger will be out, but the outlook—especially if things go well—is that he will likely miss several weeks.
Since 7 September
El-Abdellaoui has not played since he started on 7 September against Getafe. From that match onward, knee discomfort kept him out of games against Málaga, Omonia Nicosia and Racing Santander, as the report details.
More absences for Celta
The injury adds to another notable absence for Celta: Mundo Deportivo also points out that Iago Aspas is sidelined with a muscle tear in his left thigh, expected to keep him out for around four weeks.
With El-Abdellaoui set for the operating room, Celta will need to reshuffle their attacking options over the coming weeks while waiting for the club’s final recovery timeline.
