Lille: Injured Timothy Weah undergoes highly successful surgery

It has been a challenging season for Timothy Weah at Lille OSC. After returning from an injury that kept him sidelined for five and a half months, the striker suffered a relapse in his first match back against Olympique de Marseille on February 16, prompting surgery to address the issue.

In a press release, Lille confirmed that Weah underwent a successful operation on a right hamstring injury performed by Professor Lempainen. While the surgery was successful, the club indicated that the young forward will face a lengthy recovery period, though the exact duration of his absence has not been disclosed.

Signed by Lille during the summer transfer window, Timothy Weah has struggled to fully demonstrate his qualities, including his notable speed, acceleration, and finishing ability, due to repeated injuries. This season, the American of Liberia descent has appeared in only three Ligue 1 matches, highlighting the difficulties he has faced in establishing himself at his new club.
