Undergoes knee surgery
Vecino (knee) underwent surgery and will be out for multiple months, according to La Voz de Galicia.
Analysis: Vecino had been dealing with a knee injury for quite some time, and the veteran decided to undergo surgery Thursday in Barcelona to solve the issue once and for all. While the recovery time is expected to be around two to three months, Vecino is expected to reach an agreement to become a free agent in the coming days, as that would allow Celta to sign a replacement before the summer transfer window closes.
Travels for knee evaluation
Vecino traveled to Barcelona to see specialist Ramon Cugat about right knee discomfort, according to TQHT.
Analysis: Vecino was left out of Celta's squad for Wednesday's match against Sassuolo and Saturday's match against Napoli due to the issue, with the coaching staff opting not to take any risks while awaiting a clearer picture of the problem. The specialist Ramon Cugat previously operated on the same knee in July 2020 for a meniscus injury that kept him sidelined for several months. Vecino is expected to continue individual work in Vigo while the medical staff determines the next steps.
