Manu Rodríguez to have shoulder surgery, another blow for Sporting
Dislocated right shoulder after a fall in training; he will be out for several weeks after the operation in Gijón, date still pending.
Manu Rodríguez will have to undergo surgery for a dislocated right shoulder, according to a medical report released by Sporting Gijón, as MARCA reports.
The injury happened in training last Wednesday at Mareo, after a bad landing from a fall. The operation will take place at Hospital Covadonga in Gijón. The date is not yet set, but it is expected by the end of this week. Afterwards he will begin rehabilitation, which will keep him out of competition for several weeks.
He joins a list of absentees that already includes Nikita Iosifov, Konrad de la Fuente, Antonio Casas and Andrés Ferrari. Manu was a fixture for Nicolás Larcamón, starting all seven matches in which he was available. In the 4-0 defeat to Castellón on Sunday, Hugo Guillamón replaced him and made his first start of the season.
