Alberto Aquilani's keyhole ankle surgery was “successful” and the Roma man should be back in action for pre-season training.
The midfielder has been struggling with his right ankle for almost a year, but the latest setback was during training on March 12.
He was diagnosed with inflamed ligaments and displaced cartilage caused by the earlier injury and specialists in Antwerp decided surgery was required.
“This morning Aquilani underwent keyhole surgery on his right ankle,” announced the official Roma website.
“The operation, performed by Professor Van Dijk, was successful. In the next few days Aquilani will begin the rehabilitation process as mapped out by Professor Van Dijk.”
It is believed Aquilani will be sidelined for around two months, so he should be ready for pre-season training.
This does mean he will miss the Confederations Cup in South Africa with the Azzurri in June.
