Inter news: midfielder undergoes surgery, ruled out until 2017

Inter midfielder Gary Medel has undergone fibula surgery today, the club have announced through their official website. The Chile International got injured during the first half of last week-end’s Milan derby and was forced to leave the pitch in the 36th minute.

Inter have opted to recover the player through surgery and sessions of physiotherapy rather than make him follow a conservative therapy.

The Serie A giants and the player have announced that the surgery was successful and that Medel will return to Milan soon to begin physiotherapy.

​Medel has been ruled out until 2017 and could make his return between January and February. Inter have announced that the operation was conducted by doctor Ramon Cugat adding that club’s doctor Alessandro Corsini followed the developments of the surgery.

​Medel started last week’s derby in centre defence but has played the most of his 13 season games in centre midfield. The 29-year-old midfielder is a two-time Copa America winner with Chile national team.
