Finally, after the medical team of River Plate decided that an exploratory surgery and wound cleaning was necessary, the player Matías Suárez underwent surgery at the Trinidad sanatorium in San Isidro. The operation went as planned and ended successfully without complications.
The forward from Córdoba, who had been suffering from synovitis for several weeks, underwent a one-and-a-half-hour arthroscopy in which the fluid causing him pain was drained.
Suárez suffers from this chronic condition, which prevents him from training or playing normally due to three previous surgeries on the same knee. He was treated for patellar tendonitis in 2012, and two anterior cruciate ligament injuries in 2013 and 2014.

The forward was only able to start in five matches in this League Tournament, and it is still unknown when he will be able to be considered by Marcelo Gallardo.
