Statements by Santiago Arias, after the fracture of the left fibula – International Football – Sports

Santiago Arias I speak. The Colombian player, who was beaten from the game against Venezuela, expressed what he thinks in Espn, after the fracture of the fibula and complex ligament injuries in the left ankle.

Solidarity. Until you do not know what it feels like. It is the first serious injury of my career. You think it will never happen to you, but there is a first time for everything. I had the option of talking to many people who were seriously injured and they shared their experience with me. They told me what they felt and what those moments were like after the operation.

The recuperation. HAy, try to keep the foot up before the surgery so that the blood circulates. I have a large bruise. After the operation I will be at rest for eight days and then begin to move.

The accompaniment. It is a joint effort. I travel with a physiotherapist from the National Team, who will be in charge of me during the days that I will be in Bogotá. Then in Madrid I will be with the Atlético de Madrid medical team and a recuperator from Bayer Leverkusen.

Support. All the support they gave me has been great. They have shown me that I am important, in the case of Leverkusen, and that gives me the energy to get out of this as soon as possible to reward them on the field for what they have done.
