Vietto has appendix operation

Luciano Vietto has on Thursday undergone an operation for appendicitis and the Atletico Madrid forward will likely be absent for a month.

AS reports Vietto hadn’t trained for the past few days due to what was thought to be gastroenteritis.

However, he went under the knife at the Monteprincipe hospital in Madrid and it’s estimated he’ll need four weeks to recover from surgery.

That would mean missing October’s games against Valencia, Real Sociedad and Deportivo La Coruna in La Liga, and possibly Sporting Gijon in early November, as well as the Champions League double-header with Astana.
