Sevilla FC Reports Tecatito Corona Undergoes Surgery After Ankle Injury
Sevilla’s Mexican winger Jesus Tecatito Corona underwent surgery on Thursday afternoon at a Seville clinic following a fibula fracture and ankle ligament ruptures. The club confirmed that the left foot suffered damage during a recent training session, casting doubt on his participation in upcoming matches.
The Mexican international is unlikely to be fit for Qatar’s World Cup campaign, with medical eyes on a careful rehabilitation plan. The operation was performed by Dr. Francisco Najarro at Fremap clinic in Seville, and Corona was transported by ambulance after the accident occurred during training.
During the procedure, surgeons inserted a plate with screws to stabilize the fibula and repaired both the external and internal ligaments of the ankle. Sevilla FC stated that if recovery proceeds without complications, Corona could be ready for a short return period after discharge, followed by a structured rehabilitation program in the weeks ahead.
@jesustecatitoc posted a message about the surgery, highlighting the serious nature of the injury and expressing solidarity with the team. The club echoed the sentiment with a supportive message and the hashtags WeareSevilla and Never give up.
Sevilla FC announced that Corona sustained a significant injury during a routine session. The initial assessment indicated damage to the fibula and the deltoid ligament in the left ankle. The injury is expected to require several weeks of healing, with a typical recovery span estimated between four and five months for this type of muscular and ligamentous disruption.
Tecatito, 29, had recently begun his first season with Sevilla after moving to the Andalusian club last winter. He appeared in 22 official matches, scoring two goals and providing four assists in his previous campaign with the team. His early impact demonstrated his value as a wide playmaker capable of influencing games on both flanks.
