A Dutch defender with Ivorian roots, Nathan Ake has undergone a successful surgery on his fractured foot.
The versatile centre-back started for his Manchester City side on Saturday when the team hosted Plymouth in the English FA Cup Round 16.
Unfortunately, Ake suffered an injury and came off at halftime when he was replaced by Ruben Dias.
Following an assessment after the game, it was uncovered that the defender’s fractured foot was the problem.
Today, he has successfully undergone surgery and is set to begin his recovery.
Reacting to the surgery, the centre-back shared his frustration but noted that he is looking forward to the best.
“This has been such a frustrating season for me but I’ve now had successful surgery on a fracture in my foot which has been bothering me for months and I’m looking positively to the future,” Nathan Ake said.
