The Colombian midfielder underwent an operation on Sunday performed by Dr Armin Bauer, the senior consultant at the Marienhospital in Brühl, following a metacarpal fracture suffered at the training camp in Austria at the end of July. The operation was completed without any complications but the 20-year-old Puerto is ruled out for the first round of the DFB Cup against Regional League Ottensen to be played in Hamburg at the Millerntor Stadium.
