Red Star Belgrade has released an update regarding Nigerian winger Peter Olayinka’s recent surgery. Olayinka sustained an Achilles tendon injury last week during Red Star’s Champions League clash against AS Monaco. The injury has sidelined the Super Eagles forward, requiring surgical intervention to address the damage caused by the incident on the field.
The surgery was performed in Finland by a renowned specialist in Achilles tendon injuries. According to Red Star, the procedure was successful, and Olayinka is now in recovery. Although the surgery went well, the club has not specified a timeline for his return to the field, emphasizing that they will monitor his post-operative progress before making any estimations.
In a statement, the club expressed their optimism for his recovery. “Peter Olayinka was successfully operated on in Finland by a famous doctor after an Achilles tendon injury due to a blow he received during a match in Monaco,” the club confirmed. They also conveyed that the initial phase of recovery is crucial in determining his potential return date.
The Serbian side extended their well-wishes to the attacker, expressing their desire to see him back in action as soon as possible. “Everything went well, and we are waiting for the post-operative period to pass to estimate the return time for the player,” the club stated. This cautious approach reflects the seriousness of Achilles injuries, which typically require extended rehabilitation.
Olayinka is expected to be out for approximately 6-9 months, depending on how well his recovery progresses. The long recovery period is a setback for both Olayinka and Red Star Belgrade, who will miss his contributions on the pitch. However, the club’s careful management of his rehabilitation shows their commitment to ensuring his full recovery before his return to competitive play.
