Ivan Marcano, Porto’s Spanish defender, underwent surgery on Tuesday on his right knee, which he injured in the 15th against Estrela Amadora in a Portuguese Primeira Liga match.
The Cantabrian defender, operated at the age of 36 in Olympia-Quironsalud in Madrid by doctors Manuel Leyes and César Flores, presented “plasty rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament”. He will be the big absentee in the double confrontation against FC Barcelona in the group stage of the Champions League.
Now in the ranks of Porto, Marcano previously played in Spain for Racing Santander, Villarreal and Getafe. He arrived at Porto in 2014 and had already suffered a cruciate ligament injury three years earlier and was largely sidelined for a season. Now another long period of absence awaits him.
