Delpo is already following the rehabilitation plan put together by his medical team. For the past few days he’s been using a splint that keeps the knee immobilized while he follows the doctors’ advice.

The goal is to be healthy again, so he will continue working conscientiously to achieve that goal. At this initial stage there is no exact timeframe about when he will return to tournament play, but as always, we appreciate the many support messages you send his way.

Delpo ya trabaja en la recuperación junto a su equipo. Desde hace unos días utiliza una férula que mantiene la rodilla inmovilizada mientras realiza el tratamiento indicado por los médicos.

El objetivo es estar sano, trabajando a conciencia, por lo que en esta importante etapa de inicio del tratamiento no habrá precisiones sobre tiempos o torneos. Como siempre, agradecemos los múltiples mensajes de apoyo que le han enviado.
