Everton striker Cenk Tosun has spoken to Turkish TV Channel Haber Global and confirmed he underwent an operation in England yesterday on his injured knee.
The Turkish striker, who was loaned out to Crystal Palace during the winter transfer window, was injured during a training session with the Eagles and it’s likely he will spend between six and nine months on the sidelines.
Speaking to HaberGlobal, Tosun said he’s expecting to return stronger, whilst adding his view about the latest Coronavirus outbreak in Europe: “I will be out for a long time. I am looking forward to returning stronger. The rehabilitation phase will begin for me from now on.
“I hope we will find a solution about the Coronavirus soon. We have to take hygiene measures. We are fine in the UK at the moment, hopefully, everything will be better.”
The striker has now returned to Everton for his treatment after Crystal Palace agreed to terminate his loan following his ACL injury.
The player has also been ruled out of Euro 2020, which will be a huge blow to Turkey. Tosun was key in his country qualifying for the tournament, although there are concerns this will go ahead this summer due to the Coronavirus.
