Meniscus tear requires surgery
Ochoa's right knee meniscus injury will ultimately require surgery after several days of conservative treatment, with the operation set for Sept. 7, performed by Dr. Manuel Leyes in Madrid, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Ochoa had been dealing with physical issues for several weeks, first getting hurt in a preseason friendly against Leicester before gradually working his way back into partial training, though persistent pain ultimately led to this surgical decision. His recovery timeline under coach Juanfran Funes now becomes a significant question as the club continues assessing the road ahead.
