Salif Sané undergoes successful operation

Schalke 04’s medical department have given their initial diagnosis on the injury, with surgeon Dr. Ulrich Boenisch describing it as a bucket handle tear of the lateral meniscus in his left knee. Sané was lucky to avoid a serious ligament injury.

Depending on how quickly he recovers, the 29-year-old will be missing for up to three to four months, keeping him out until the second half of the season.
