Christian Benteke, the Aston Villa striker, received positive news regarding his recent Achilles tendon injury. After undergoing surgery on Monday, Belgian media reports indicate that the operation was successful for the Red Devils striker.
Benteke’s agent emphasized that there was no need to delay the surgery unnecessarily, and the operation was performed promptly to facilitate his recovery. It is expected that Benteke will be discharged from the clinic on Tuesday to begin a four-week period of rest with his family before embarking on a challenging rehabilitation process.
The injury occurred during training on April 3, forcing Benteke to withdraw from the upcoming World Cup in Brazil. The Belgian international is anticipated to be sidelined for approximately six months as he focuses on his recovery.
Although Benteke will miss out on the opportunity to represent his country in Brazil, the successful surgery and planned rehabilitation provide hope for a full recovery and return to the pitch in the future.
