Bellarabi faces operation in Basel
Following in-depth discussions between Karim Bellarabi and Bayer 04 Leverkusen it has been decided the player should undergo an operation.
The striker will be operated on tomorrow, Wednesday 14 September by Dr Bernhard Segesser at the Rennbahn Clinic in Basel. This is to repair ligament damage in his right groin.
Bellarabi picked up the injury in Saturday's Bundesliga home game against Hamburg SV. He was substituted in the opening minutes due to a torn muscle and ligaments in the right groin. The 26-year-old Germany international will not be available for selection by head coach Roger Schmidt for the rest of 2016.
