Marc Casadó undergoes surgery on right collarbone

Antonio Hidalgo had already set expectations the day before: “Tienen que hacerle pruebas y veremos el alcance de la lesión, pero la verdad es que tiene mala pinta”. The worst scenario was confirmed after the match, when Marc Casadó ended up needing surgery, as Deportivo de la Coruña announced in a statement on Monday, September 21, per Mundo Deportivo.

Surgery in A Coruña

The club’s update says Marc Casadó was operated on at the Hospital HM Modelo in A Coruña by orthopaedic surgeon Rafael Arriaza. The diagnosis was a fracture of the right collarbone. From there, his progress will determine his exact return timeline.

Injury timing with the international break

The timing matters for the schedule: the injury comes right before an international break that will last a little over two weeks. That means he will miss two matches.

How it happened

The incident occurred in the 32nd minute after a coming together with Real Betis forward Pablo Fornals. As described, a poor pass from goalkeeper Leo Román led to the move, and Casadó went down. Before being replaced by Diego Villares, he told the medical staff his immediate assessment: “Se me ha roto”.
