The operation was completely successful. Bjarki BjarkasonVenezia midfielder. Below is the club’s statement: “Bjarki Bjarkason has undergone surgery for bilateral sports hernia. The surgery, performed by video laparoscopy by Dr. Sansonetti in Milan, was a complete success. Recovery time will be 4-6 weeks.”
This is what Eusebio Di Francesco had to say about the midfielder in a press conference:
“Bjarkason won’t be there even after the break, Busio I think so. Nicolussi Caviglia doesn’t have the ninety minutes? It doesn’t count for much, I struggle to calculate the minutes. If I expected 90 minutes from Nicolussi Caviglia I would be making a big mistake. It happened with Idzes… I’m just saying that he can start from the beginning. Then during the game there are players who surprise you and others who maybe leave you when you don’t expect it. We’ll evaluate during the game”.
Ellertsson appeared lively: how do you see him physically and in that role behind the striker?
“Since you called him lively, I’ll tell you that we see him well. If I used him in that role, which then also becomes the mezzala that you mentioned before, he can give balance to the team. He’s playing it at his best, but he can improve it a lot. He has a great quality: he’s available to help the team and to listen. I want this from everyone”.
