Real Madrid forward Jese has undergone "satisfactory" surgery on the knee
ligament injury that has brought a premature end to his breakthrough season at
the Bernabeu. The 21-year-old tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right
knee early in Madrid's 3-1 UEFA Champions League victory over Schalke on Tuesday
night, putting a dampener on their progression to the quarter-finals as they
completed a 9-2 aggregate triumph.
Jese travelled to Augsburg in Germany on Wednesday to undergo surgery at the
clinic of knee specialist Dr. Ulrich Boenisch and is expected to return to
Madrid in the coming days. A statement from his club confirmed: "Jese Rodriguez
was admitted to the Hessingpark-Clinic in Augsburg by Dr Ulrich Boenisch and
under the supervision of the Sanitas Medical Services-Real Madrid doctors Jesus
Olmo and Francisco Morate.
Jese sustained the injury after just two minutes of the last 16 second leg
following an innocuous-looking tussle with Sead Kolasinac. He was carried off on
a stretcher to be replaced by Gareth Bale before being taken away to hospital,
where tests revealed the extent of the damage.
Madrid have not yet estimated how long Jese is likely to be out for, although
injuries of this kind tend to have a recovery period of at least six months.
Jese had been enjoying a fine season at Madrid, and had scored five goals in his
previous six starts for the club prior to being named in Carlo Ancelotti's first
XI for the visit of Schalke. Such has been Jese's impact this season that he had
been talked about as a possible contender to go to the FIFA World Cup with
Spain, even though he has yet to make a senior appearance for his country. Click
