Unlucky start for Raúl Navas with Real Sociedad

Raúl Navas is not having luck in his first opportunity to convince everyone that he has a place in Real Sociedad. Since it was revealed that the club from San Sebastian signed him for the next three seasons, recovering him from Eibar, a pubic pain that he has been carrying since last season has prevented him from starting the preseason with the rest of the team under the orders of David Moyes. In fact, he has had to undergo surgery and will miss the start of the league with the txuri-urdin team.

The club has reported late this evening that "Raúl Navas has undergone surgery to solve his dynamic pubic osteopathy. The player, with discomfort that has been evolving for several months, has been successfully operated on by doctors Ramón Olivé and Lluís Til at the Hospital de Terrassa," the club explains. Navas had to undergo surgery with specialists in the field to achieve a good recovery and put an end to the pain that prevents him from working normally with the rest of his teammates and is hindering a complete recovery. "If he shows a good evolution without complications, he will be discharged from the hospital within 48 hours and will soon start his recovery process at the Zubieta sports facilities," explains the Real Sociedad entity.

Raúl Navas has been suffering from this injury since the end of last season with Eibar in La Liga. At first, the Eibar club announced that the Sevillian center-back would not play the last few matches due to the painful discomfort in the pubic area, which prevented him from being at 100% to avoid worsening the pubic osteopathy injury. But in the end, to help Eibar in their agonizing fight to maintain their top category status, Navas pushed through, played with discomfort and received infiltrations in the last two matches, due to the absence of defenders in the central area of the Eibar defense. Navas was left with a lot of discomfort that continued during the vacation, did not improve during the preseason, and has now forced him to undergo surgery. These types of injuries are painful and uncertain in terms of prognosis, as it depends on each player, but it approximately requires a recovery period between one and one and a half months, so Navas would have to be out of action for about six weeks, meaning he will miss the start of the league with Real Sociedad.
