Colo Colo: Matías Zaldivia sets a date for his return to the courts

Due to his cut of the Achilles tendon, defender Matías Zaldivia suffers seeing from afar the bad championship that Colo Colo has made. His injury in some cases can leave a footballer up to a year away from the fields if he does not make a good recovery.

However, the diagnosis given to the defender is optimistic and in conversation with Todos Somos Técnicos from CDF, he sets deadlines to return to the fields. “When this happened to me, I had in mind that this injury lasted a year or eight months, but the operation is different now and they told me that between four and five months I can be on the court. For the preseason of the Championship that comes, which I assume will be in February, it would be up to par “.

He provided details on how his recovery is progressing and the work he must do: “The operation was successful, I underwent surgery at Meds like the other times and today I am already in the second month. I recovered the full gait of the walk, which is the first process of this injury, that the tendon is stretching, that the footprint is gaining functionality. It is the densest part. Now I am getting strength back in my legs and the third month starts with the trot and goes up “.

“It is getting up, being day by day, giving him a lot of ball, they are complex injuries and nowadays with the technology that the club offers me, Meds is a first class clinic. You have to get up once more and have no doubt I’m going to play again “added the Argentine.

Zaldivia suffers off the courts and more so seeing the difficulties that Colo Colo has had to overcome in this championship. While he remains close to the group, he does not hide his frustration at not being able to play.

“What is eating my mind today is not being able to be on the court right now. I am in the day-to-day with the group, to be, to speak, but mine is very small, my help should be within the field. Seeing the situation and not being able to take charge on a court is killing me “, he deepened.

“On January 20 I can present the folder to nationalize myself. I am five years old and if everything comes out quickly I can be Chilean in two months (…) My goal at some point was the selection, but falling into reality you have to go step to It happened. Something that could once be near is now far away “, Hill.
