Legia Warsaw is losing a footballer for a long time. An operation was needed

The players under the watchful eye of Aleksandar Vukovic are preparing in Dubai for the spring round. The situation in the table is very difficult, so the employees of the club’s sports division, headed by the new director Jacek Zieliński, also have a lot of work. The first transfer was successfully completed in the winter window. Patryk Sokołowski, who until recently played for Piast Gliwice, has joined the team of Polish champions.

Yuri Ribeiro after surgery to remove the appendix. He has a two-month break

One of the Legia’s defenders, Yuri Ribeiro, did not fly to Dubai. The Portuguese, after returning to Poland from vacation, felt very bad. He was tired and weak, but he had complained about it before he left. The stress tests on the 24-year-old athlete turned out badly, so the medical staff took his health seriously.

So the team flew out to the training camp, and Ribeiro underwent a series of tests in Warsaw. Coronavirus was initially suspected, but all tests came out negative. Everything was fine with the heart as well. Ultimately, the doctors managed to figure out what the reasons for the player’s malaise were. It turned out that appendicitis was the culprit.

Therefore, a decision was immediately made to perform the appendectomy, which was performed on Friday. According to the information provided by the club, Ribeiro is fine, but will lose the entire preparation period. According to current forecasts, the Portuguese will be able to return to the field as soon as possible in two months. This is quite a big problem for who already has significant staffing problems.
