Sazonov underwent surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee. Empoli’s report

“Empoli Football Club announces that the player Saba Sazonov has undergone surgery to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee, which was damaged during a training session in recent weeks”. This is the official medical report from the Tuscan club regarding the conditions of the 2002 defender: “The surgery performed at the Madre Fortunata Toniolo clinic in Bologna by Professor Stefano Zaffagnini of the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute in the presence of the Italian medical staff – continues the Empoli note -, was a complete success. The player will begin his rehabilitation process in the next few days”.

Sazonov, let us remember, arrived at Empoli in the last transfer window as part of a major operation with Torino that also brought Pietro Pellegri to Tuscany, with Walukiewicz doing the reverse path in a garnet shirt.
