Football, De Bruyne’s physiotherapist: ‘We will start rehabilitation tomorrow’

Rome, 29 October (LaPresse) – “Everything went well, brilliantly in fact. The goal is, of course, for him to return to his best. How will we approach this? We don’t know yet. Tomorrow we will discuss exactly what the rehabilitation will entail.” This was stated to the Belgian newspaper “Het Laatste Nieuws” by physiotherapist Lieven Maesschalck as he left the hospital in Deurne, where Napoli’s Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne underwent surgery for a high-grade injury to his right thigh biceps femoris. The player was operated on by Geert Declercq, the trusted doctor of the Red Devils’ golden generation. He is expected to be out for three to five months.
